“I have a game I enjoy playing with kids, called ‘What do you see that isn’t what it is but you believe it is?’. We randomly pick an object and explore all the possibilities it holds. This is how a pen can become a spaceship, a flute, an earring, a telescope, a car lever. However, how does this game function when, everywhere you turn towards, there’s a wall? How do you play this game when, despite the desire to see beyond the wall, you shouldn’t? Such a wall must be seen as what it is; transforming it into a poetic and imaginative possibility equals silencing and making invisible its reality. Because this wall, like many others, should not exist.” –Stéphanie Janaina
