In the US state of Nevada, the world-famous Burning Man 2024 contemporary art festival, which traditionally takes place in the Black Rock Desert, featured a performance by Ukrainian fighter DJ Tapolsky. He performed a powerful set near the I’m Fine installation created by artist Oleksiy Say and Ukrainian Witness founder Vitaliy Deinega.

DJ Tapolsky integrated recordings of voices — his mother, brothers, and friends — into his performance, which became a musical manifesto of resilience. They answered the questions, “How are you?” and “What are your dreams?”
