About event
This event is part of the PANDAwomen 2025 Festival.
Curated by interdisciplinary artist Sveta Ben, this evening brings together exiled Belarusian artists whose work reclaims language, memory, and imagination in times of displacement and repression. With poetry, music, performance and film, the night offers intimate encounters with the complexity of Belarusian identity today.
Programme:
Film screening
“Jugend auf Belarussisch” + Q&A, Directed by Ksenija Halubowitsch
A documentary on the everyday lives, fears, and courage of Belarusian youth — both in Belarus and abroad. A conversation with the director will follow the screening.
Narratives of Memory — artist talk
An artistic reflection on Belarus presented by a Berlin-based belarusian visual artist Lesia Pcholka. By mobilizing community archives and approaches in experimental storytelling, Pcholka creates layered narratives that move between personal and political, private and collective — reimagining how histories can be remembered and resisted.
Performative reading
KROVAZVAROT
with Julija Cimafiejeva (poetry)
A poetic and musical performance tracing ancestral memory, exile, and the language of survival.
Concert
KOOB S
A duo consisting of Belarusian vocalist and composer KOOB and Swedish bassist Seth Sjöström. Their music moves between Nordic folk, jazz, and improvisation — quiet, lyrical, deeply felt.
Concert
Žuravl
Žuravl is a music project by Belarusian composer and vocalist Anastasia. Their performance moves between light jazz and industrial, blending lyrical expression with elements of theatre. It’s melancholy and raw emotion turned into sound.
Performance/Music
Anastasia Rydlevskaya
A multidisciplinary performance closing the evening with sound, gesture, and voice. Known for her emotionally immersive works, Anastasia blends electronic soundscapes, Belarusian motifs, and live ritual energy.
Admission: 20 euro online | 25 euro doors
