DISSIDENTS
An exhibition by Belarusian and Russian journalists and artists in exile
duration 18–31 December 2022
MiCT (Media in Cooperation and Transition) opens DISSIDENTS, an exhibition by journalists, media activists, and artists in exile. All participants have fled from repression to Berlin.
The rise of repressions within Russia and Belarus, following Russia's attack on Ukraine, has particularly affected people involved in the media. In both countries, freedom of expression has been all but abolished and journalists, artists and anyone involved in conveying information, opinions, and views, in general, have been treated particularly harshly.
As a result, in recent months we have seen an unbelievable exodus of people involved in any form of media activity from these countries. Sometimes this is the result of direct threats, but more often it is a conscious choice, an unwillingness to participate in the construction of lies, to compromise. For all these people, leaving is almost always a loss of well-being and status, but a gain in freedom of expression.
Projects by Sergei Balai, Anna Demidova, Dmitry Brushko, Lina Tuomas, Maria Savushkina, Andrei Karalevich, Egor Isayev, Sofia Kendel and Artem Moskalev, Sergey Ponomarev, Karen Shainyan, Nikolay Kononov, Angelina Davydova, Nadya and Sasha Svirsky, Yury Davydov, Kirill Sietlov, Dmitry Varlamov, Novaya Gazeta Europa.
Curated by Anna Narinskaya, journalist, documentary filmmaker and curator.
The MiCT Fellowship for Critical Voices is aimed at media professionals from war and crisis regions who are acutely threatened by political persecution, censorship or discrimination in their home countries. This year, the initial focus is on supporting media professionals from Afghanistan, Belarus, Russia, Myanmar and Ukraine. The fellowship programme is part of the recently founded Hannah-Arendt-Initiative and supported by the Federal Foreign Office, JX Fund and the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BKM).
