30 silver coins contain poems written during the war. They represent reflections on the values of modern society and pose the questions on the evaluation of human life against the economic benefits and geopolitical concerns. The author wants the readers to answer honestly which price they are ready to pay to save their identity, to stick to their values, and whether these values remain valuable at all in the world of globalization, where the line between black and white is constantly and intentionally blurred.
The project is part of the subthemes Healing Narratives - Poetry, Mental Health and Collective Trauma, Cultural Resilience - Literature as a force for social justice.
