We are all carriers of information where each and every person has his/her own unique set of experiences to share with others, becoming witnesses and protagonists of these stories. Throughout the last 3 years we lived through difficult times where street action with its aftermath has been reproduced, recreated, forged by the media, the military, MB, dakheileya .. who create and disseminate stories adding to the collective amnesia in our society.

This makes us not only the witnesses and real-time storytellers of the ongoing struggles, but participants and creators of the revolutionary narrative – countering the rulers and their propaganda.
−
Whether we were actively participating or are witnesses to what have happened, we all heard, recorded and shared stories before. The 18 days have passed, but the memory hasn’t and it requires us to look back at what have happened, who was on the street, who wasn’t, how do we remember this period and what does it mean today. The urgency to film new testiomonies realted to “now” are as urgent and valuable as the preservation of what already happened. Oral history means collecting and preserving these recollections systematically, preventing them from disappearing forever.
