Echoes of Protest – A Conversation in 2050 is a speculative dystopian video artwork that envisions a future where the right to protest has been extinguished. In this world, objects once integral to past peaceful protests find themselves as relics of a bygone era, their right to exist now dubious.

Through their interactions, these objects discuss themes such as the right to protest, human rights, disagreement, public order, and ideals worth defending—creating a dialogue that evokes what protests used to be and what has been lost. The work transforms inanimate artifacts into narrators of collective memory, exploring the role of civic engagement, resistance, and the importance of raising one’s voice.

The viewer is left to ponder whether these objects represent preserved memories or fugitives resisting an oppressive regime.

This project is being produced by Anyuta Wiazemsky Snauwaert.
