Post-Soviet Cassandras

Galerie im Kornerpark, Berlin

Anatoly Belov, Gandhi, Shifra Kazhdan, Victoria Lomasko, Marina Naprushkina, Nadia Plungian

The project is a cooperation with uqbar e.V. and curated by Dorothee Bienert, Victoria Lomasko, Nadia Plungian, and Antje Weitzel.

Post-Soviet Cassandras is an exhibition with artists from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, who all deal critically with the social and political situation in their countries. In the Russian-speaking countries marginalized groups still have to face discrimination in the form of psychological or physical violence on an almost daily basis.

The show is about analysing the current social reality: about women’s rights and gender roles, about the lack of a political dialogue, about happiness and misfortune within marginalized groups. Despite flagrant abuses, the artists envision ideas for a more inclusive future using the means of art.

Some of the artists already worked together in the exhibition Feminist Pencil that took place in 2013/14 in St. Petersburg and Moscow and reflected the status of feminist and queer positions in post-socialist societies.
