Artists Against the Kremlin III: Memory Remains
The third and final edition of Artists Against the Kremlin - an ongoing art project by Prometheus, The Moscow Times and De Balie. This edition is devoted to memory and its preservation: the Kremlin tries to erase inconvenient memories and replace them with new ones, and the exhibition sets out to keep them.
More than 70 works by contemporary Russian-speaking artists living in different countries address Russia’s war against Ukraine, repression and censorship - among them Pussy Riot, Yuly Rybakov and Sasha Skochilenko. The exhibition also includes the special presentation The Other Russia. MEMORIAL: 35 Years of Struggle for Historical Truth and Democracy, shown in the Netherlands for the first time, and sections on punitive psychiatry and women political prisoners.
Theo Tisfys took part with Memory Remains - a portrait of Alexei Navalny surrounded by twenty-two figures erased by Soviet power. The work is published in the exhibition almanac Artists Against the Kremlin, Vol. 3.
Entrance was free, daily 12:00–19:00.
