This is a proposal for a participatory artwork which is triggered by the current politics between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Israel and Palestine using Nagorno Karabach and Gaza Strip current situation as a symbol for year-lasting conflicts between states and which unfortunately, are attempted to be resolved by force and sadly result to big losses of human lives as well as economic and ecological disasters. The proposal suggests ethnic cleansing strategies must be added to the list of the Anthropocene and seeks creative solutions making use of performative art as a safe platform to test out and embody new ideas. The participants should have with them their mobile phones and the location of the performative event should provide internet connection. Participants will be invited to create a living system which (as with all living systems) is fragile, subject to change and impossible to fully control. This work acts as a social experiment of our ability to listen to each other and to create (or not) harmonious coexistence in space.
