HIDDEN

HIDDEN is a publication that takes a photojournalistic approach to the experiences of queer Armenian youth. Through original interviews and portraiture, the publication examines the ways LGBTQ+ identities are often concealed within conservative Christian Armenian communities and families. The design concept integrates hidden folios as a physical metaphor for concealment, mirroring the tension between visibility and erasure. The cover is interactive, revealing the subject's eyes when a tab is pulled, embodying the act of uncovering what is often forced unto hiding. By merging documentary photography with thoughtful editorial design, HIDDEN creates a space for voices too often obscured, while challenging cultural silences with intimacy and clarity.
