A conversation table reprepresenting Kharkiv, a part of the exhibition in the Literature Museum. The event challenges the set stereotype of Kharkiv as a city of steel and concrete. The string-bound figurines of people, buildings and greenery symbolize the delicate relationships of objects they represent. The visitors, who may decide to hide behind symbolic masks, are encouraged to discuss troubling topics of war, death and loss in a safe but thoughtful setting.
