This gathering is a re-enchantment cast by Chrystalleni, a cultural historian with a PhD on public art & conflict resolution, who immediately knew she could trust Lital + Vinas with her 3 year old child. Since then, they have helped her free herself in ways that are beyond words and closer to rope-making with natural materials. She believes their asylum application in Cyprus has a very good chance of being successful but will just as happily go find them across the sea. It's her honour to share with them this invitation from the Creative Centre for Fluid Territories, and she looks forward to using our hand-made rope to tie sticks together into a raft.
