Another theme that was discussed was institutional and invisible forms of violence. We brought up experiences of exclusion, censorship, and lack of empathy within cultural spaces. These examples reminded us that violence is not always physical; it can also appear in the form of silence, ambiguity, or the denial of recognition. The sessions also brought attention to collective care and solidarity. We reflected on how support networks—friendships, communities, and shared artistic spaces—can help people navigate experiences of discrimination or marginalisation. In contrast to the competitive structures often found in contemporary cultural systems, collective practices can create environments of trust and mutual support.

Environmental transformation became another important thread in our conversations. Some of the videos focused on landscapes shaped by borders, urban development, and ecological change. In one case, the camera observed animals moving freely through a politically divided territory, revealing how nature continues beyond human boundaries. In another, rapid urbanisation had dramatically altered a coastal landscape once dominated by natural ecosystems. These works raised questions about memory, loss, and the accelerating impact of human activity on the environment.

Throughout the sessions we also questioned the role of visibility and awareness. Ultimately, after much analysis, one question remains ambiguous: does documenting violence and destruction in their rawest forms contribute to change or create a habituation, if not an outright addiction, to violence itself? How can we denounce brutality without showing it?
