Like a family living in it, every home has a secret to keep. The authors explore subjects regarding family and home, personal and non-personal problems, in line with everything else concerning physical presence at home. At that, range of subjects covers both social and domestic character in a generalized sense.
Basic concept of Zohrab Salam-zadeh’s Inhabitants of Empty Houses seeks to reveal social side of the issue, having been turned into a superstition that we often encounter in the 21st century.
Family Portrait by Mehriban Shamsadinskaya reveals theme of the human personality, emphasizing uniqueness and variability of the characters. According to the author, behaviour of people in home and in different environment are in contrast with each other.
Hatem Alizade’s Abode of the Unborn develops his approach to the subject through presenting a “would-be” life of unborn child. In the meantime, he has taken into account a number of reasons which could provoke a woman to take this type of step in the life.

Mud volcanism is one of the most interesting natural geological phenomena on the Earth. Some geological, hydrogeological, and tectonic factors lead to the formation of mud volcanoes. When mixtures of gas, water, and some sediments expel at the surface of the Earth, and this process continues for a long period of time, then these mixtures take different external morphological shapes, and create mud volcanoes.
As the leaves start to turn golden and the air gets crisp, Baku is getting ready to heat things up with some incredible concerts this autumn. Whether you’re a fan of pop, rock, jazz, or something in between, this season’s lineup has something for everyone. And trust me, you won’t want to miss it—especially with the amazing artists coming to town. Let’s take a sneak peek at what’s in store, shall we?
