Find Your Tongue is an installation and performance that invites the visitors to reflect on the topic of organised crime and corruption in Albania by offering the audience to drink water from ice glasses shaped like the tongue of the former anti-drugs police officer Dritan Zagani.

In 2017, Zagani investigated an Albanian organised criminal group that cooperated with the government. As a result, the former Minister of the Interior of the Socialist Party, Sajmir Tahiri, was convicted. Today, Tahiri is serving his sentence at his home, having been released from prison, and Zagani is persecuted by the Albanian government – according to them, he is the one who should be punished. Zagani received political asylum in Switzerland where he now lives under a new identity.
