ALT B: The Refugee Paradox
Bush Theatre
About The Refugee Paradox explores the complex and often misunderstood reality of displacement through the experiences of Armenians from Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) and other Armenian communities with three short films. The word ‘refugee’ implies the existence of refuge — a place of safety and protection.

Through three short films addressing different experiences of war and forced displacement, the event examines what remains after exile and loss — the loss of life, land, home and roots. A particular and urgent focus will be on the Armenians from Artsakh living in Armenia — a country that is not their homeland — and abroad, as displaced people facing profound uncertainty about their future. The screenings will be followed by an in-depth discussion with the filmmakers and invited speakers from Artsakh. Films: My Dearest Artsakh (2024, 14 min) What Can I Tell You?
