The dawn of April 25, 1974, opened several doors for us, and the main one opened the door to democracy.
The artist invites the public to open the door and write their answer on the blank pages: "In 2024, 50 years later, what doors do you want to open at dawn?"
Using the blue pencil that was once the pencil of censorship, she reframes it as the pencil of freedom.
