00:00As long as we exist as human beings, we move and we migrate, and we will always keep on doing that.

00:23And that's what we show in Phoenix. We show that there's a migration story to tell in every family.

00:29And how do we do that? We do that through the lens of arts.

00:33And these artists, they either are migrants themselves or they did a lot of research.

00:40And they will show you what it feels like to leave your home, to find a new home, to say farewell, to have homesickness, to miss your food.

00:53And that is very emotional.

00:59And we have times to stop and stop.

01:05And how do we pass far?

01:07And are people who want to know about them to be more of a home, to be more of a home.

01:13And are people who want to know about them to possibly be more of a home.

01:17We want to cap the building not just as a function, but as a function,

01:47but as a memory, because this is a place where all the people depart from Europe.

01:54That's a story that starts here.

01:56So we want to keep the building, but we also want to add something, which is the staircase.

02:03People call it a tornado now.

02:05It's a staircase representing the future.

02:09So we want something new and old that coexist together and have a dialogue.

02:17So we're going to take a building next time.

02:22So we're going to go to success.

02:24So we're going to continue to divide the wind, which makes it a position.

02:28Amen.
