Every year, Arrels celebrates a memorial to honour the people living on the streets who have passed away.
For the 2020 memorial, they trusted Domestic Data Streamers to shape it. We wanted to make the 70 missing people present in the space through that personal object that used to connect them to the city: their shoes.
