How is it possible, especially during this time, to be young and remain silent? To have your life destroyed, to be genocided at your expense, and you to be absent from your present? To be young and stay silent!

This means not reacting, not rising up, not dreaming, not asking why! To be young and feel powerless! To be young and your only prospect is escape: escape from your country, from your friends, from your anger, from your future, from your very nature!

When we decided to organize the 4th Listening Session for Young Creators by Mikri Arktos, we wanted to investigate whether the deafening silence of the youth today implies and conceals underground processes and paths. Whether it accumulates reserves of energetic power that at some point will inevitably explode, shaping landscapes of creative resistance... Otherwise, nothing would make sense anymore. A destroyed future leaves no room for breathing in a subdued present.
