Belarus as a Global Case

PerspAKTIV Final Art + Alumni + Networking-Event: "Belarus as a Global Case: Art and Activism in Conditions of Risk"



The PerspAKTIV event aims to showcase Belarusian contemporary art and to highlight the current Belarusian context as an example of the complex realities faced by cultural workers under political repression and forced migration.

The event will not only discuss and reveal the challenges Belarusian artists face in conditions of political and social exile, but also explore the opportunities for artistic development and international integration, showing the positive perspective of art as a tool of adaptation and self-expression in new circumstances.

The program includes an exhibition of Belarusian contemporary art, concerts, performances, discussions, and workshops.

The event is the Final Art + Alumni + Networking Event of the residency project PerspAKTIV, implemented by RAZAM, Ambasada Kultury and Galeria Miejska Arsenał and funded by the German Federal Foreign Office. PerspAKTIV has been launched in 2022 and has grown to a network of 33 cultural institutions in Germany and Poland supporting repressed Belarusian artists and cultural workers.

PerspAKTIV invites all those interested in the topic of ‘artists at risk’ to come and engage in a dialogue, profit from the network's expertise, hear our alumni, and - most important - immerse themselves in the diverse manifestations of Belarusian contemporary art presented during the event.
