17:22 x

I'm fine thanks

it´s hot and its ramadan here a great combination :(

17:23Yo

how do you do it? respect! it must be so hard...

so you follow the rules as it is supposed to?

17:24x

I´m not muslim so :P

but its hard anyway because you have to do as if

17:25Yo

so if you are at office, you can not eat anyway

17:26x

hmm no I only eat at home because my friends don't mind

people become more sensitive in that period

17:27Yo

sure

and with hot days must be even worse

what about your family? are they muslims?

17:29x

no they are atheist at least I can be myself with my family and some of my friends

17:30Yo

that´s something good

17:30x

there are other people who have much more problems

17:30Yo

it must be hard to pretend for a whole month

like people being atheist, with muslim parents, for example?

17:32 x

yes , they can feel really lonely. In a way it is easy to find atheist like you in the country

17:33 x

but its less easy to find people you appreciate and who can understand you or that are like you

let's say that its more difficult for an atheist in a muslim country

it may be very difficult for him to...

(...)

17:49x

DIALOGUES 28

(the idea of the project) it´s to infiltrate your words in the everyday life of an european city

and see what happens

:)

we are not trying to get any definitions

and that may confuse people

it´s an art project, not a documentary or a cientific work

13:44 x

how infiltrate my words in European life?

13:45Yo

putting them in the tshirts, and then with the people wearing the tshirts walking in the city

13:45 x

its looks like a scientific work

13:45Yo

that´s the way to infiltrate the words in the european life

no no no...

13:45x

ahha

why you don't said that

13:46Yo

we explain that in our profile

13:4

now i understand the point

too much details

13:46Yo

ok, sorry

13:46 x

its simple when u said now

13:46Yo

it is just an art work, done for a biennal

:)

the theme of the biennal is the relationship within europe and north africa

13:47 x

words =people minds

13:47Yo

yes

exactly

13:47x

yes

13:47Yo

first we wanted to define what it is north africa

and some people put sudan inside

13:47x

and also eroupean the don't give a fuck about north african ppl

13:47Yo

that s why we didn´t want to exclude it from the very beginning

13:47x

as same as in france

13:48Yo

maybe because they don´t know about them

so maybe, we can start with getting to know each other with some dialogue :)

13:48x

people of north africa have a bad reputation in Europe

they all ready know about them

in france there are many of them

i know them

at the end we are arabs and muslems

so its a cultral and religions conflics
