The Orquesta Experimental de Instrumentos Nativos (OEIN) is an innovative Bolivian music ensemble dedicated to researching, preserving, and renewing indigenous music and Andean instruments. These instruments escape their museum captivity and connect with their history, transforming it into the aesthetics of our time. In their collaboration with a European duo, the vacancy on the anniversary of her abduction points to the absence of flutist Mariya Kalesnikava. These musical and social acts symbolize the demand for the right to self-determination of every living being.

Based on Maxim Znak's prison diary, "Zekamerone," zek [зек – Russian for "convict"] explores texts written by Znak in prison. The texts form a thread connecting the prisoners to freedom, to self-determined communication, to their survival, and to our understanding of their circumstances. In zek #5, Klaus Sebastian Dreher, in the premiere of his "Episodes from Prison," addresses the historical continuity of imprisonment as a subject in art. In Nikola Lutz's musical setting of Znak's "Ururu," the prison becomes tangible as an aural environment.
