The "European Belarus" Foundation and the Myanmar Peace Museum collaborated on the exhibition.

Today in Berlin, as part of Freedom Week, the World Congress for Freedom exhibition “Conscience in Prison Garments” opens.

The exhibition was organized jointly by the “European Belarus” Foundation and the Myanmar Peace Museum.

The exhibition was curated by Andrei Sannikov, leader of the “European Belarus” civic campaign Andrei Sannikov and the renowned artist and human rights activist from Myanmar Sai.

The exhibition features prison uniforms from various countries, as well as prison artifacts and documents.

The exhibition is timed to coincide with the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and demonstrates that it is precisely political prisoners—those whom authorities attempt to silence and strip of their very sense of self, when confined to prison uniforms and cells, are ultimately the ones who tear down walls and lead their country toward freedom.

The exhibition will run for two days—November 10 and 11—and will take place at the venue of the Berlin Freedom Conference, the Colosseum complex, located at Schönhauser Allee 123, 10437 Berlin.
