Open Studio, presentation of the "Whitewashed Tombs" project and participation in the participatory work "175"

Whitewashed Tombs is an art project in the making, within which the participatory action "175" and the painting "MEmento" are currently featured.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which on the outside look beautiful but inside are full of the bones of the dead and of all kinds of filth.28 So you also on the outside look righteous to others, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness" Mt 23:27-32.

Drawing inspiration from this Bible passage, Mela saw parallels with Julian Assange's extradition case. Assange was condemned for exposing the putrid hypocrisy of a moralistic imperialism that asserts full authority over the economies and destinies of other regions.
