Once the capital of Armenian kingdoms and later a strategic frontier for Byzantines, Seljuks, and Ottomans, Kars embodies the cultural and political entanglements of empires.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA pivotal moment came with the Russian takeover during the 1877-78 Russo-Turkish War.

This project reflects on the layered past of Kars - from colonial transformations and ethnic migrations to shared human experiences - challenging Orientalist narratives by revealing universal connections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book features several texts that intertwine images with the intricate social context. Dr. Kübra Zeynep Sariaslan also examined \u003cem\u003eSnow \u003c\/em\u003eby Orhan Pamuk from an anthropological perspective and contributed an essay to the book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMax Sher is a photographer and visual artist based in Berlin since 2021.
