extract from Lokatmala (lagu panambih)

"But when I recall two years ago now, it gives me chills to remember this moment where, despite teargas 
and mass arrests, there was this hope that we could at least have a more meaningful conversation"

- Anna Sheftel

This piece is the story of an idea. It is tentatively explored and gathers steam despite a violent 
opposition. After everything, the idea has not taken root, but still lives on in our minds.
