Like the citizens who make their voices heard outside Parliament, large red totems boldly proclaim that THE WORD IS THE PLACE. The selected artworks also speak of issues that concern us all as citizens.

The space in front of the Assembly of the Republic is undoubtedly a stage for all those who wish to be seen and heard. In the same spirit, we wanted this exhibition to be as visible and as widely heard as possible. This led to the idea of an outdoor exhibition, where the Constitution is presented through the voices of different sectors of society — from visual arts and poetry to social welfare, philosophy, history, architecture, religion and more.
