4:33 pm
live in a very heavily for real state. because usually when you talk about these camps or like prison system or like the even like the general surveillance in the region, people will look at you like this doesn't exist. where in this 21 century 21st century. but that do exist. and why inviting people we want to share this experienced us, but embodied experience. and what does that build up to? i mean, because if you're talking about change, ultimately change has to come from governments that represent these groups of people. so is that what you're looking for or something? yeah, that's the far away ultimate goal. we would like governments like german government or like french govern to act more because there have been very few actual steps that they have been taken out. but i think the changes should come on of from the
4:34 pm
normal people from like, like me, like you, like all the consumers because lot, lots of like what these situation related to where your region is also the forced labor. so we wanted to emphasize that to evoke people to, you know, like, fight against or like be aware at least of like what you're buying, what you're eating is not related to 4th labor. i have to ask, this exhibition is being held in berlin. how do you read the german government performance or how the german government has reacted to the allegations of chinese abuses and changing? yeah, i, i, and i'm not very familiar with german situation, but i know that they, they are very close allies with china, china and, and they have lots of contracts business to do with china. i understand that that's why a german government has been quite silence for many years now. but i, i heard that there have been some petitions. some,
4:35 pm
some kind of movement has been happening inside of german parliament. so they try to also like raise awareness around this question and, and to ask german government to act more. but i'm like hoping that there will be more actions coming in next month, next year's about this exhibition itself. this must feel very person for you because you were born in room 3, the capital of sion during what a lot of these are, what the world many countries of the world to describe as genocide has taken place . do you know, personally, or people who have been become a part of this prison system? yes, i have many friends who have been to these camps and i still have some teachers. some professors that i personally know that i work with. they are still in these camps and we don't have any information about where, where they are held or like, what does, what, what are the prison sentence or like what, what, what is their fault to being held in these camps?
4:36 pm
i am thinking about that. i had thought he, she was one of these very interesting arch apologise to very important hon just worked on legal culture and she's been held in this camps that we don't know what's going on. there is also about how to son, he is a poet, and i am like trying to advocate for his work to be known to be shirts in my artistic work. and he is a poet and he's, he's a writer. he is an educator. he is held in these camps. we don't know what's going on with him. you're a weaker artist yourself. how does that make you feel? knowing that people who are like you are in these camps. it's really devastating and it's also scary for me and i'm really stressed out about the situation by holding these people in this camps. what chinese government eventually is doing is to, you know, like really restrict our voices. so it's, it is as if like,
4:37 pm
my voice is taken away when i think about these people in camps and in prison. i think the last time you would in motion during was in 2013. if i'm not correct, would you like to go back to syndrome? i cannot even think about it because it's really, i don't know how i will be received there by the chinese government. because as i said in my testimonials, i'm not a very active person. i don't artistic work, but even though i do like, really few activities, activism, but it's still talking about the issue talking like making artwork for to raise awareness. so i'm assuming that i'm, i'm a problem for chinese government. they don't want me to talk. they don't want me to make our artistic work, so going back might create some great danger for my, for me, for my, my friends and my family. it's credit contravene. leave it there. thank you so much
