About
Over 100 interviews were conducted in Georgia, revealing the consequences of war through individual testimonies. Carefully condensed, these texts focus on the search for language to express lived experience.
Invited by Wiener Festwochen, the project expands in Vienna with 15 additional testimonies, placing documentary practice in the center of a peaceful European context.
Over three evenings, participants speak about war, displacement, work, and fragile everyday lifeโ exposing how conflict continues to shape identity long after it ends.
