WE ACT WE GLOW WE BURN WE REACT WE MAINTAIN WE PERSIST WE ACT #2
In her workshop, Marijs Kempynck and the participants embroidered symbols on an ant, representing the tentative search for a new future. What wishes and dreams do we cherish, for ourselves and for our environment? How could you give shape to them? The result was presented during the festival weekend in a parade.
