ื•ื—ื•ืฉื‘ืช ืขืœ ืขืฆืžื” ื‘ื—ืœืง ื–ื” ืฉืœ ื”ืžืื”,

2000
ืžืคื ื™, ืฉื‘ื ื™ื’ื•ื“ ืœืžืงื•ืžื•ืช ืื—ืจื™ื,

ื”ื™ื ื—ื•ืฉื‘ืช ืขืœ ืขืฆืžื” ื‘ืขื‘ืจ, ื”ื•ื•ื”

327260
2000
ื•ืขืชื™ื“ ื‘ืื•ืชื• ื–ืžืŸ.
05:29
no one speaks of it just in the now.

ืืฃ ืื—ื“ ืœื ืžื“ื‘ืจ ืขืœื™ื” ืจืง ื‘ืขื›ืฉื™ื•.

133
334260
2000
ื•ื‘ืžื—ืฉื‘ื” ืขืœ ื–ื”,
05:36
then my second project, the second question I ask is:

ืื– ื”ืคืจื•ื™ื™ืงื˜ ื”ืฉื ื™ ืฉืœื™, ื”ืฉืืœื” ื”ืฉื ื™ื” ืฉืื ื™ ืฉื•ืืœืช.

Can a museum

2000
ื•ืœืืคืฉืจ ืœื”ื ืœื”ื™ื•ืช ืกื•ื›ื ื™ื

358260
2000
ื—ื•ืฉื‘ืช ืขืœ ืชืขืจื•ื›ื•ืช ืฉื,
06:00

2000
ืขื›ืฉื™ื•, ืžื” ื–ื” ืื•ืžืจ ืœื—ืœืง ืžื›ื?

In some cases, I know that many of you

ื–ื• ืžื™ืŸ ื—ืžืžื” ื•ืชืžื™ื›ื”

ืืœื, ืฉื•ื‘, ื›ื–ืจื–ื™ื ืืžื™ืชื™ื™ื.
