In the public, open space in front of the Gorki, a duo of artists installs a living archive. »This is our history. We claim this space for us. All of us who are framed, constrained and defined still by those that want to control us, name us, silence us. Here we are. Look, read, listen. Our voices will not be silenced, our artistic production will not remain invisible.« We have had many allies over the decades always ›the others‹ but this is a strength that has enabled us to make the work and collaborate with people seeking the same objectives: creating spaces where our voices can be heard, our artistic productions made visible. »We are not savages but civilized people of another civilization. We are neither superior nor inferior to the rest of humanity. We are different, that’s all!« Sandra Jayat Artist, theromanielders.org
