a collective installation created with people living through ongoing war, displacement, and violence
This four-day collective installation was created on Utøya, an island marked by the memory of the 2011 terrorist attack and now reclaimed as a site of educational and democratic practice. Working with the waves to honor movement and lesson words, the installation invited participants returning to the island, people whose families had traveled from Ukraine and Lebanon, and others from across the world — to translate their personal stories of loss and struggle into a shared narrative of resistance.
