Why
The primary themes include:
Reflecting on the mistakes in relationships between three nations – Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus – which have led to the tragedy currently unfolding in the heart of Europe (form: visual documentary art).
Exploring generational gap – portraying old Russia as the parents and modern Russia as the children (award-winning The Border solo show, form: theater).
Introducing a Belarusian Japanese project aimed at suggesting ways to end war and achieve peace by appreciating one's true roots and nature (form: visual art, cartoons, poetry, theater).
Satirizing the absurdity of propaganda (award-winning Brainwashed solo show, form: performance, theater, stand-up, clowning).
Uniting artists from around the globe in their self-expression for peace, freedom, and love.
