Because it is a night where the city becomes both spectacle and wound — full of smoke, noise, fear, and reflection.
DRANG transforms this moment into collective memory, awareness, and art.

You may submit your own original photos, videos, audio recordings, music, text, poems, or short written testimonies.
DRANG receives every form of honest witnessing.

Examples of what you can document or create:

• smoke drifting through the streets
• objects left behind (debris, wrappers, broken fireworks)
• empty or chaotic streets after the explosions
• animals hiding or searching for shelter
• chaos turning into silence
• sirens, echoes, distant voices
• rooftops dissolving into fog
• reflections of light, shadows, abandoned scenes
• emotional impressions: fear, calm, tension, beauty, memory
• abstract or minimal visual details

Writing:

• short stories about what you witnessed
• poems expressing sorrow, contrast, tenderness
• written fragments about fear, celebration, rupture, or healing
• reflections on contrast: joy vs. terror, celebration vs. suffering, excitement vs. injury
• personal notes about what stayed with you emotionally

Sound & Music:

• field recordings
• sound impressions or voice notes
• original compositions, melodies, atmospheres, or experimental pieces inspired by the night
• any sound-based creation shaped by tension, fear, stillness, chaos, or memory

Your contribution can be visual, emotional, sonic, or literary as long as it is your own original work.

Please avoid:

• identifiable people
• minors
• faces
• license plates
• private addresses
• graphic, violent, or disturbing scenes

If a face appears by accident, we will blur or remove it in the final artwork.

Yes. Absolutely.

DRANG is not only about this New Year’s Eve. It’s about what returns, what lingers, and what has been normalized over time.

You can submit:

• Experiences from previous New Year’s Eves

• Memories that stayed with you

• Images, sounds, notes or reflections from past years

• Things you witnessed before but never shared

What matters is presence, not the date.

This project recognizes that:

• Some impacts are only understood later

• Some experiences take time to name

• Some memories surface when we finally slow down

If something from another year still feels unresolved, relevant, or alive —
it belongs here.

DRANG holds space for:

• What happened then

• What stayed in your body

• What still asks to be seen

There is no expiration date on awareness.

No.
You don’t need to be an artist.
You only need to observe, feel, and document.

Your safety comes first.
Document only from a distance, stay aware of your surroundings, and do not put yourself or others in danger.
Do not approach riots, explosives, or unsafe crowds.

Yes — only if they are not harmed, disturbed, or staged.
Document naturally and respectfully.

Yes.
You keep full copyright.
