Throughout the research process a large amount of material was compiled in the form of photographs, audios and videos. There was not room for all this material. We have therefore created a repository, where the material we could not include in other sections of the website can be found.
Here, testimony related to the main ideas arising from the central thread of the research can be heard and seen. We believe they may complement the analysis.
