The cultural center of the Azerbaijani people - the city of Shusha in Nagorno-Karabakh, was seriously damaged during the period of the Armenian occupation (1992-2020).
Only after the city was liberated as a result of heavy fighting on November 7-8, 2020, it became possible to assess the scale of the damage inflicted on the city by the Armenians.
An architect Adalyat Mammadov, who, even before the occupation of the city, participated in the restoration of architectural monuments of the city, visited the city after the liberation, and shared his impressions of the damage.
He talked about the architectural features of Shusha, and promised to restore all its historical monuments.

In a world increasingly marred by the effects of climate change, art has emerged as an unexpected, yet powerful, platform for raising awareness and sparking conversations on environmental responsibility. One such endeavor is the exhibition "A Different Kind of Climate," currently on display at Kapellhaus with support from the Goethe-Institut. The timing of this exhibition is no coincidence, aligning with the upcoming COP29, the UN Climate Change Conference to be held in Baku from November 11 to 22. The exhibition seeks to engage audiences on pressing ecological issues, blending local and international perspectives.
