Liturgy of anti-tank obstacles

by Dmytro Sukholytkyy-Sobchuk 12'

United States – Ukraine​

The reality in Ukraine split into before and after the war. Every citizen is trying to contribute to the nationwide resistance. Many people retrained for the needs of the military. Sculptors and metalworkers now make anti-tank obstacles. In the art workshops, among the artwork, anti-tank obstacles are being produced. The artists make the anti-tank obstacles, surrounded by the sculptures of angels, Cossacks, and famous Ukrainian personalities. Statues stand in the corners like a silent army. Multiple copies of Jesus Christ, like a terracotta army, froze in various poses and waiting. Masters weld metal for the Armed Forces of Ukraine

What the soil remembers

by José Cardoso 30' South Africa 

​

A vibrant and diverse community flourished in the fertile South African lands. Today its elders tell the story of how their people were uprooted from neighboring lands and thrown into deserted areas; the suffering separation left scars but never transformed them into individualistic beings. A University was built on their lands, and today this institution is riddled with guilt as it was the epicentre of apartheid thought, but to return the land seems impossible. The elders light up the screen with their way of approaching the problem.
