There is a painful thread that binds Rotterdam and Dresden together as cities survived a bombing. How these cities have decided to rebuilt themselves and how they narrate their own story, is remarkably unique.  

From outsiders perspectives Xausa, from Rotterdam, and Liebig, from Dresden, have navigated each others cities sifting any sign, monument, or architecture, in search of those stories that silently occupy the urban soil. 

What do these monuments represent, and how do they affect us nowadays? What are those missing narratives that the city won’t tell us? have been the starting questions on their research. Through participated research, fiction, and urban interventions, they have reacted to the monuments, shifting, twisting, and reducing their meaning in the light of new narratives that emerge as new acts of resistance against the representation of power.
