In our project, we have changed parts of the lyrics of popular songs so that they can help us cope with the negative emotions that we experience when facing the climate crisis. Hits that we hear on the radio usually tell about broken heart. Only a slight intervention, and they suddenly become protest songs that can help us handle the burden of our times. We reclaim the music that belongs to the commercialised, capitalist culture to give voice to our collective anger and shed our tears together with the Earth.

​

By singing the songs we have known from our teenage years, we transform nostalgia for the past youth into sadness for the now irreversible climate change.

 

The project debuted at the Forum of the Future of Culture in 2019 and was also presented as a part of art residency at the Department of Presence of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. The project functions as a karaoke playlist on YT (link).
