Ljubljana Žale Cemetery, Church of the Holy Cross27. Sep. 2025Ljubljana Žale Cemetery, Church of the Holy CrossAfter a funeral, we often try to move on quickly. Our world is about life, not death. For most of us, there is no clear before and after until it happens.
This soundwalk opens public space to what is usually unsaid, unspoken or suppressed, yet remains present as a shared feeling.

The soundwalk begins and ends at the same location and unfolds as a collective walk, where space, voice and sound intertwine in a reflection on memory, community and our relationship to death.
