About the Work

In Switzerland, every year a siren test takes place on the first Wednesday in February. Amnesty International wanted to take advantage of this circumstance that exists throughout Switzerland in order to draw attention to the “forgotten war” in Yemen. The idea was to create an immersive experience: While the sirens were tested throughout Switzerland, sounds of war from Yemen were broadcast live on Radio 24 and at promotional stands. The broadcast ended with a special programme on the topic, including a call for donations to support Amnesty International’s work to protect the civilian population in Yemen.
