PRESENTATION | Kiila Album
ENG / pre-recorded with subtitles
Since its first year of operation Kiila has released 17 albums that have brought together the vision and goals of Kiila member artists and writers. This year, in the 18th album, we chose to look back on the activities of the recent years and to compile our various written statements as well as documentation from demonstrations and other political actions we’ve participated in. The publication is available digitally in a print-at-home file for free but if anyone would like to support Kiila’s activities they can choose to pay whatever amount they wish to Kiila’s account. For the launch of this edition of the Kiila Album, we would like to share with you collective reading of our newest statement, “Actions, not Words”.
