“Maapagu / inExile”
Where to go when strength is gone?
When the world becomes intolerable?
When we no longer agree?
Or can?
Or want to?
When we are surrounded by chaos and hunger...?

What do we promise when we leave? To return as winner or well-fed or alive?
Will anyone be waiting for us? Parents/friends/children? Homeland?
Is it better ... where we are going?

Where? Where everybody is rich and happy?
We close into ourselves from the injustice of the world?

Who will be waiting for us...?

We are in exile.
