The Roomers Project was an interactive installation in the heart of Oldenburg. A collaboration between artists in the fields of performing, digital and visual arts, the project served as an opportunity to share personal ideas and perceptions on the subject of freedom of expression.
The installation confronts the struggle for expression through the lens of three major conflicts: Pan-African resistance , the 2019-2020 Hong Kong protests, and the War in Ukraine. The conflicts, despite their differences, share sobering commonalities, from totalitarian government control and media manipulation, to violence and censorship
