Description How do Armenians, unlike Czechs, perceive their past? How do they view their monuments? And how should a documentarian—caught in a conflict of interest—approach all of this? These are the questions tailored for Gajane Achverdjan, a science communicator, documentary filmmaker, and creator of numerous films for the RE:CENT research group, but above all a Czech-Armenian who, through studying art history in Brno, has symbolically returned to her second homeland. In episode 57 of the podcast Středověk (jinak), archaeologist Jiří Macháček and art historian Ivan Foletti talk with her about her position straddling Czechs and people living within sight of Mount Ararat, and even about whom she supported during the Czech-Armenian football match.
