Antiwarcoalition.art in cooperation with ABA Berlin inviting you to the public lecture "From War to War: Illustration and Militarization of Visual Space in Belarus" by Belarusian artist Uladzimir Hramovich.
A history of Belarusian book illustration and visuality from the postwar period through the 2000s. From the Soviet soldier to the tank from War Gaming, how Soviet education mutated and became the forerunner of the new wartime in the region.
Uladzimir Hramovich -graduated from the Gymnasium-College of Arts named I. O. Akhremchik in Minsk, Belarus (2009) and the graphics arts department of the Belarusian State Academy of Arts in Minsk, Belarus (2015). Member of the Problem Collective since 2016. Works with installations, graphics and video.
From the artistic statement of the artist:
"I see materials such as concrete, granite, metal, paper and paint not just as surfaces that history leaves its imprint on but as agents that themselves deform history. In my artistic practice, I draw on the history of modernist art and architecture, the history of ideology and political movements, and the transformation of the urban space in Minsk (Belarus). I interested in the tension between the past and the present and studies monuments and rituals of memory that are overloaded with ideological meanings and embodied in material objects"
The lecture will be held in English as a part of the Bridges of Solidarity public program
