‘The Sounds of the Silenced’ is a deeply moving VR insperience that invites visitors into a space of loss, love, and shared humanity. Surrounded by a sea of children’s shoes — silent witnesses to lives taken — the visitor enters a 360° world of poetry, remembrance, and protest. Through listening, remembering, and dialogue, this installation becomes more than a tribute: it’s a quiet moment for collective mourning. A call to feel, to reflect, to see, to act.

This insperience is a multimedia adaptation of memorial protests held at different cities throughout the Netherlands, organized by ‘Plant een Olijfboom’.
