Constant physical and psychological violence, forced abortions, punitive psychiatry, complete lack of privacy, inability to be with a loved one, children taken away – for tens of thousands of women trapped in the stumps of Russia, this is an ordinary life. Capable and recognized incapacitated women, who are quite able to live independently or under the supervision of a social worker, are locked up for life in the barracks of the PSNI, where hundreds of people are kept under one roof, treating them like prisoners of high-security colonies. Those who managed to get out told us their stories.

The Flood

2021
The decision to move to Holland doesn't sound like a wise idea. Why move to a country that could be flooded at any moment? For the last 25 years, the political climate has shifted. The public debate on migration has become harsher, more heated, and polarized. What would have been considered right-wing xenophobia back then, is now considered mainstream. Populists simplify complex realities into good and evil, victims and perpetrators: ‘us’ versus ‘them’. Their rhetoric often consists of dehumanizing words and metaphors. One of these is ‘water’. In reality, water is not an immediate threat to the average Dutch person; but it is a huge threat to the thousands trying to reach the Netherlands. People trying to survive the Mediterranean Sea in rubber boats. Trying to survive winter on the Aegean coast in primitive tents. To them, water really is deadly.
