While Being Murdered

As we live among a new soundscape that contains not only the songs of revolution, change and hope, but the suffocating bangs of tear gas, the deafening rumble of helicopters and planes and the piercing blows of gun shots, we insist in spreading the sweetest sound of all, that of the human voice that seeks a common ground, a place of peaceful conversation, a dialogue for meaningful change.

As we advance along the changing landscape of our cities painted not only in the bright colours of graffiti, murals or the bold letters of placards, but also covered in the dark soot of fire and stained by the blood of many, we continue to walk decidedly towards a hopeful future. These are sounds and images to combat the growing unrest of our hearts and spirits. These are meant to embolden and offer strength to all as we keep on moving, together.
