Stuck between politics and walls, a walk in Piedruja-Druja
In collaboration with Darya Akhrameika, done in the framework of the Piedruja-Druja research project.
The village of Piedruja-Druja is located on the Latvian-Belarusian border, where the construction of an approximately 145 km long metal fence and other structures is currently being completed to ‘stop’ the humanitarian crisis, which Latvia and other EU countries consider a hybrid attack by Belarus. During the walk, you’ll hear about the village’s blended cultural landscape, divided community, humanitarian crisis, and militarisation of the border zone.
