5000 Steps to Peace and Justice | Kyiv–The Hague

Soundwalk

How to remember the events you want to forget? How to tell stories you wish to keep silent about? How to ask questions you are afraid to hear answers to? What is the role of sound and silence in resistance to violence, the search for justice and our attempt to be together?

The soundwalk was created for a journey through the dunes of The Hague. It encompasses personal memories, the historical memory of the place and reflections on the concept of a city of peace and justice.
