Visitors will encounter remnants salvaged from the festival grounds, including a camping area with tents, empty bottles, and a replica DJ booth, as well as video testimonies and written first-person accounts. The exhibition space will be transformed via dim and colorful lighting that evokes a concert while creating a contemplative atmosphere.
