Slovakia (Banská Bystrica + traveling discussions in Slovakia)
A public space intervention consisting of a Slovak translation of 33,305 documented deaths of refugees and migrants resulting from restrictive migration policies. The text was installed in the public space of SNP Square in Banská Bystrica. Following the intervention, a series of public discussions on migration were organized in Slovak cities, including Bratislava, Žilina, Liptovský Mikuláš, and Banská Bystrica, extending the work into a social and discursive format beyond the initial installation.
