Grozny, the capital of war-torn Chechnya, is a melting pot for changing Caucasus society that is trying to overcome a post trauma shock of two recent wars and find its own way of life in between traditional Chechen values, Muslim traditions, and globalization, to cope with rapidly changing role of women, increasing contrast between rich and poor and political games. Grozny: Nine Cities is inspired by a Thornton Wilder book, Theophilus North, and centers on the idea of nine cities being hidden in one, which gives us a concept to explore specific aspects of the aftermath of two Chechen wars considering them as "cities" hidden within Grozny.—Olga Kravets, Maria Morina, and Oksana Yushko
