Artists Against the Kremlin: VIRUS

The second edition of Artists Against the Kremlin examined how authoritarian practices associated with the Kremlin - propaganda, disinformation and repression - spread to other countries, and whether democracies can build resistance to them.

More than 100 works by artists from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and the global diaspora were shown, including Nadya Tolokonnikova (Pussy Riot), Danila Tkachenko and Sasha Skochilenko. The exhibition was part of the programme of Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary and opened with a free concert by pianist Maria Nemtsova dedicated to young political prisoners in Russia.

Theo Tisfys took part with We Didn’t Kill U. The exhibition is documented in the almanac Artists Against the Kremlin, Vol. 2, published by the All Rights Reversed gallery and The Moscow Times.
