Building upon Bialowieza Forest's histories of repression, persecution and destruction, [paˈlʲit͡sʲ] considers common scars shared by its human and non-human inhabitants. It approximates borders as zones of transition and interaction and sees every living being as both indigenous and migrant. [paˈlʲit͡sʲ] shares its stories in both Polish and Belarusian, reflecting the dual heritage and bearing witness to the echoes of both languages reciprocally permeating the imaginary, yet material border.
