During the past WIPCOOP days, we drew a red line through four cities. Brussels, Leuven, Antwerp and Ghent colored equally red. We invited the audience to literally help draw the red line. Each city built on what the previous one had started, growing the line from one meter to dozens of meters.
The red line symbolizes a boundary being crossed: it is our collective protest.
We draw the line against genocide. In Palestine, in the Sudan, in the Congo and wherever human lives are being systematically destroyed. We draw the line for governments that don’t act, that let genocides happen. Each knotted ribbon represents someone saying, “I see this. I acknowledge this. And I choose not to remain silent.”
