她的邻居告诉媒体，说他们听到了她的尖叫，
00:34
but they didn't intervene.
7

但是他们没有干涉。
00:37
You see, in Bulgaria
and many other societies,
and many other societies,

在保加利亚和其他很多社会中，
00:41
domestic violence is typically seen
as a private matter.

9
29751
3408
家庭暴力普遍被看作是一件私事。
00:46
Neighbors, however, are quick to react
to any other kind of noise.
to any other kind of noise.
10
34026
4973
然而，邻居却总是迅速对其它噪音作出回应。
00:52
We wanted to expose and affect
the absurdity of this.
the absurdity of this.
11
40404
3724
我们想要去曝光、去改变这件荒谬的事情。
00:56
So we designed an experiment.
12
44889
2538
所以我们设计了一个实验。
01:00
We rented the apartment
just below V's for one night.
just below V's for one night.

48224

我们租了 “V” 的公寓正下方那间房间一个晚上。

在晚上 10 点的时候，

A man was standing at the door,

犹豫要不要按门铃。

"Beat." is our project exploring
the ominous silence

“敲”，我们的这个项目探索了
01:51
surrounding domestic violence.

99842
2243
围绕家庭暴力的沉默。
01:54
We filmed the experiment,
and it became instantly viral.

我们拍摄下了这个实验，它瞬间引起热议。
01:57
Our campaign amplified
the voices of survivors

我们的这项实验放大了

那些在网上分享了
自己故事的幸存者的心声。

It equipped neighbors
with specific advice,

110674
2115
它也给了邻居详细的建议，
02:04
and many committed to taking action.
34
112813
2015
他们很多都付诸了行动。
02:07
In a country where every other week,
35
115629
2735
在这样一个国家——每隔一周，
02:10
the ground quietly embraces
the body of a woman
the body of a woman
36
118388
2987
就有一个女人的尸体悄然拥入大地的怀抱，
02:13
murdered by a partner or a relative,
37
121399
2785
她被伴侣或者亲戚杀死——这样的国家里，
02:16
we were loud,
38
124208
1801
我们响亮地发声，
02:18
and we were heard.
39
126033
1451
我们的话语得到了关注。
02:22
I am an activist,
40
130627
2090
我是一个活动家，
02:24
passionate about human rights innovation.
41
132741
2355
热衷于人权革新。
02:27
I lead a global organization
for socially engaged creative solutions.
for socially engaged creative solutions.
42
135958
3927
我带领了一个全球组织，
致力于构思社会参与的创新解决方案。
致力于构思社会参与的创新解决方案。
02:31
In my work, I think about
how to make people care and act.
how to make people care and act.
43
139909
4860
在我的工作中，我思考如何鼓动人们去关心、去行动。
02:37
I am here to tell you
that creative actions can save the world,
that creative actions can save the world,
44
145789
5168
我想站在这里告诉你：创新行为可以拯救世界，
02:42
creative actions and play.
45
150981
2626
创新行为和玩乐。
02:46
I know it is weird to talk about play
and human rights in the same sentence,
and human rights in the same sentence,
46
154576
5147
我知道在同一句子中谈论玩乐和人权很奇怪，
02:51
but here is why it's important.
47
159747
2052
但接下来我要说出这很重要的原因。
02:55
More and more, we fear
that we can't win this.
that we can't win this.
48
163038
3810
更多的是，我们害怕我们赢不了这场斗争。
02:59
Campaigns feel dull,
49
167495
1767
活动变得乏味，
03:01
messages drown,
50
169286
1470
信息被淹没，
03:03
people break.
51
171267
1524
人们精神崩溃。
03:06
Numerous studies, including a recent one
published by Columbia University,
published by Columbia University,
52
174082
3973
很多研究，包括最近哥伦比大学发表的一项，
03:10
show that burnout and depression
are widespread amongst activists.
are widespread amongst activists.
53
178079
3655
显示：力竭和抑郁在活动家群体中广泛蔓延。
03:14
Years ago, I myself was burned out.
54
182417
2742
几年前，我也曾经历力竭。
03:17
In a world of endless ways forward,
I felt at my final stop.
I felt at my final stop.
55
185183
4429
在这个还有有无数条路可走的世界上，
我却觉得自己走到了最后一站。
我却觉得自己走到了最后一站。
03:22
So what melts fear or dullness or gloom?
56
190605
4488
所以什么化解了恐惧，枯燥或忧郁呢？
03:27
Play.
57
195793
1209
玩乐。
03:29
From this very stage, psychiatrist
and play researcher Dr. Stuart Brown
and play researcher Dr. Stuart Brown
58
197469
4261
从这个阶段开始，心理学家、
“玩乐”研究者斯图亚特·布朗博士说道，
“玩乐”研究者斯图亚特·布朗博士说道，
03:33
said that nothing
lights up the brain like play,
lights up the brain like play,
59
201754
2780
没有任何东西像玩乐一样可以点亮大脑，
03:37
and that the opposite of play is not work,
60
205582
2164
与玩乐对立的不是工作，
03:39
it's depression.
61
207770
1270
而是抑郁。
03:41
So to pull out of my own burnout,
62
209729
2371
所以为了让我自己摆脱力竭，
03:44
I decided to turn my activism
into what I call today "play-tivism."
into what I call today "play-tivism."
63
212124
5645
我决定把我的活动主义方向变为
——“玩乐活动主义”。
——“玩乐活动主义”。
03:50
(Laughter)
64
218160
1766
（笑声）
03:52
When we play, others want to join.
65
220339
3261
当我们玩乐的时候，其他人会希望加入。
03:56
Today, my playground
is filled with artists,
is filled with artists,
66
224240
2471
今天，我的游乐场上充满了艺术家，
03:58
techies and scientists.
67
226735
1705
技术人员和科学家。
04:00
We fuse disciplines
in radical collaboration.
in radical collaboration.
68
228846
3135
我们通过深度合作融合了行为准则。
04:04
Together, we seek new ways
to empower activism.
to empower activism.
69
232658
3055
共同努力，我们寻找新的方法来为活动主义赋能。
04:08
Our outcomes are not meant to be playful,
70
236346
2686
我们的成果并不会是充满玩乐的，
04:11
but our process is.
71
239056
2056
但是我们的过程是。
04:13
To us, play is an act of resistance.
72
241832
3397
对我们来说，玩乐是坚强的表现。
04:18
For example, "Beat.,"
the project I talked about earlier,
the project I talked about earlier,
73
246197
4459
比如说，我之前提到的“敲”项目，
04:22
is a concept developed by a drummer
and a software engineer
and a software engineer
74
250680
4222
是由一位鼓手和一位软件工程师发明的概念，
04:26
who didn't know each other
two days before they pitched the idea.
two days before they pitched the idea.
75
254926
3167
他们在推广这个概念的两天前甚至不认识对方。
04:31
"Beat." is the first winner
in our lab series
in our lab series
76
259165
2661
“敲”是我们实验系列中的第一个优胜者，
04:33
where we pair artists and technologists
to work on human rights issues.
to work on human rights issues.
77
261850
4189
以这种方式，我们把艺术家和
技术人员们配对去研究人权问题。
技术人员们配对去研究人权问题。
04:38
Other winning concepts
include a pop-up bakery
include a pop-up bakery
78
266775
3401
其他的优胜概念包括一个弹窗面包店，
04:42
that teaches about fake news through
beautiful but horrible-tasting cupcakes --
beautiful but horrible-tasting cupcakes --
79
270200
4309
通过外表华丽但味道极差的小蛋糕
来宣讲假新闻相关知识……
来宣讲假新闻相关知识……
04:46
(Laughter)
80
274533
2854
（笑声）
04:49
or a board game that puts you
in the shoes of a dictator
in the shoes of a dictator
81
277411
3866
还有一个桌游，让你扮演一名独裁者，
04:53
so you get to really grasp the range
of tools and tactics of oppression.
of tools and tactics of oppression.
82
281301
4390
来让你真正了解压迫的工具和手段范围之广。
04:59
We did our first lab
just to test the idea,
just to test the idea,
83
287382
3263
我们的第一个实验室只是为了验证这个想法，
05:02
to see where it cracks
and if we can make it better.
and if we can make it better.
84
290669
2757
去检验它是否有漏洞，
我们能否修复它。
我们能否修复它。
05:05
Today, we are so in love with the format
that we put it all online
that we put it all online
85
293450
3254
如今，我们如此喜爱这种模式
以至于我们把它放到网上
以至于我们把它放到网上
05:08
for anyone to implement.
86
296728
1620
让每一个人都能实施它。
05:11
I cannot overstate the value
of experimentation in activism.
of experimentation in activism.
87
299148
3599
我认为，无论怎样宣扬
活动主义实验的重要性都不过分。
活动主义实验的重要性都不过分。
05:15
We can only win
if we are not afraid to lose.
if we are not afraid to lose.
88
303312
3363
只有不怕失败，我们才能胜利。
05:20
When we play, we learn.
89
308247
2645
玩乐的时候，我们学习。
05:24
A recent study published
by Stanford University
by Stanford University
90
312332
2639
斯坦福大学最近发表的一项关于
05:26
about the science
of what makes people care
of what makes people care
91
314995
2070
“是什么令人们关心起来”的科学研究
05:29
reconfirms what we have
been hearing for years:
been hearing for years:
92
317089
3180
再次证实了我们多年以来经常听到的事实：
05:32
opinions are changed
not from more information
not from more information
93
320293
2665
观念的转变不是由更多信息导致的
05:34
but through empathy-inducing experiences.
94
322982
2145
而是通过能引发情感共鸣的体验。
05:38
So learning from science and art,
95
326020
2798
所以从科学和艺术我们得知，
05:40
we saw that we can talk about
global armed conflict through light bulbs,
global armed conflict through light bulbs,
96
328842
5278
我们可以通过灯泡讨论全球武装冲突，
05:46
or address racial inequality in the US
97
334144
2857
或者通过明信片响应
05:49
through postcards,
98
337025
1462
美国种族不平等问题，
05:51
or tackle the lack of even
one single monument of a woman in Sofia
one single monument of a woman in Sofia
99
339320
4597
又或者应对在索菲亚，
甚至一座女性雕像都没有的问题，
甚至一座女性雕像都没有的问题，
05:55
by flooding the city with them,
100
343941
2104
方法是让女性雕像遍布该城，
05:58
and, with all these works,
101
346655
2180
通过这些工作，
06:00
to trigger dialogue,
understanding and direct action.
understanding and direct action.
102
348859
3418
来开启对话、理解和直接行动。
06:06
Sometimes, when I talk about
taking risks and trying and failing
taking risks and trying and failing
103
354534
4261
有时，当我在谈论人权的时候，
06:10
in the context of human rights,
104
358819
1771
提到冒险、尝试和失败时，
06:12
I meet raised eyebrows,
105
360614
2333
我会遇到一些冷眼，
06:15
eyebrows that say, "How irresponsible,"
106
363639
3233
这些冷眼仿佛在说：“真不负责任！”
06:18
or, "How insensitive."
107
366896
2017
或者，“真麻木不仁！”
06:21
People often mistake play for negligence.
108
369567
3727
人们常把玩乐当作忽视。
06:25
It is not.
109
373318
1299
其实不然。
06:28
Play doesn't just grow our armies stronger
or spark better ideas.
or spark better ideas.
110
376218
4812
玩乐不仅仅让我们的队伍更强，或者激发灵感。
06:33
In times of painful injustice,
111
381741
2431
当令人痛心的不公发生时，
06:36
play brings the levity we need
to be able to breathe.
to be able to breathe.
112
384196
3035
玩乐给我们带来能让我们喘息的轻松。
06:39
When we play, we live.
113
387850
2462
玩乐的时候，我们活着。
06:45
I grew up in a time
114
393907
2301
我小的时候，
06:48
when all play was forbidden.
115
396232
1909
所有的玩乐形式都是被禁止的。
06:51
My family's lives were crushed
by a communist dictatorship.
by a communist dictatorship.
116
399387
3272
我们全家的生活都被一个“共产主义”独裁政权摧垮了。
06:55
For my aunt, my grandfather, my father,
117
403923
3797
为我姨、我的祖父、我父亲，
06:59
we always held two funerals:
118
407744
2473
我们都举行了两场葬礼：
07:02
one for their bodies,
119
410241
1376
一个埋葬他们的肉体，
07:03
but, years before that,
120
411641
1543
但在多年前，
07:05
one for their dreams.
121
413208
1583
另一个埋葬他们的梦。
07:07
Some of my biggest dreams are nightmares.
122
415657
3737
我最大的梦中有一些是噩梦。
07:12
I have a nightmare that one day
all the past will be forgotten
all the past will be forgotten
123
420685
4274
在一个噩梦中，有一天，
所有的过去都被遗忘了，
所有的过去都被遗忘了，
07:16
and new clothes will be dripping
the blood of past mistakes.
the blood of past mistakes.
124
424983
3245
只有新衣上还沾着
过去的错误所留下的血迹。
过去的错误所留下的血迹。
07:21
I have a nightmare
125
429546
1975
在一个噩梦中，
07:23
that one day the lighthouses
of our humanity will crumble,
of our humanity will crumble,
126
431545
3480
有一天，人性的灯塔已然倒塌，
07:27
corroded by acid waves of hate.
127
435049
2276
被仇恨之浪侵蚀着。
07:30
But way more than that,
128
438301
2607
但尽管如此，
07:32
I have hope.
129
440932
1316
我还抱有希望。
07:35
In our fights for justice and freedom,
130
443169
2316
在为公正与自由而战时，
07:37
I hope that we play,
131
445509
1672
我希望我们玩乐起来，
07:40
and that we see the joy
and beauty of us playing together.
and beauty of us playing together.
132
448205
4535
我希望我们在我们共同玩乐时
找到其中的快乐与美。
找到其中的快乐与美。
07:45
That's how we win.
133
453626
1397
这，就是我们取胜的办法。
07:48
Thank you.
134
456058
1227
谢谢。
