100 years after the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne

One hundred years after the signing of the cruel treaty that dispersed an entire population into four different, newly-conceived countries, the Théâtre Vidy on the shores of Lake Geneva in Lausanne took two days out of its programming to host an Agora of a new kind, where all the representatives of stateless peoples were able to express themselves and find an equitable world organization that would allow them to be represented and heard. This gallery features interviews with historians, activists and artists involved in the event.
