Collective Manifesto
We have been saturated with death and pain; we have also survived. We have seen the war very close, it has been present in the daily life of all of us. Today, we do something to reinvent the story. We meet and talk, which gives us hope; it lets us know that there is something that can be done, and that we can go ahead and do it. …
We are starting to understand what has happened, getting to know the other, living together, remembering that our lives deserve to be lived. This is our country; this is our story.
We have been on a suspension bridge. Today, we process our own experiences and those of others. We have our debts, debts of justice, debts of indifference. Today, we listen to others’ stories, we allow ourselves this understanding embrace, an embrace which recovers humanised ways of seeing that build truths without discounting the conflict.
