Threads of Memory, 2022-2025 Textile, photography, lithography, and cyanotype Eight works; dimensions vary
BUNA+The exhibition ‘Threads of Memory’ is dedicated to the question of how identity is negotiated in the context of migration, political repression and personal loss - and what role textile practices can play as carriers of memory, resistance and cultural continuity. As an artist with a Belarusian migration history, I process the ruptures, ambivalences and violent attributions associated with my origins in my work. The protests in Minsk, which I witnessed in 2020, marked a central turning point: the hope for freedom and collective self-determination was brutally crushed - with far-reaching consequences for individual and collective concepts of identity.
