DISPLAY SILENCED
The brand-new program is last month silenced: politically put behind bars opened to a great deal of limelights. The appealing screens are appealing and really efficient and quick. The cells have actually been recreated in the previous Loevestein state jail. Outside you can check out the main indictment versus, to name a few, Loevestein’s group, Aleksej Navalny and Filep Karma. You get in the cell through the flexible bars and learn what stories the detainees inform themselves. In addition, a painting, ’em pty chair’, by Maarten Baas can be seen. The five-meter-high chair, created for Nobel Prize winner and human rights activist Liu Xiaobo, represents the injustice of authors, reporters, artists and human rights activists. In the demonstration loft you can check out and hear more about advocacy, its significance and the hope and strength it provides to political detainees. You can likewise do something about it yourself with an unreasonable table football video game.
