Marking the one-year anniversary of the rigged elections, this grassroots exhibition is curated by three Belarusian artists living in the Netherlands. During the turmoil last August, the curators, much like the entire Belarusian diaspora in the Netherlands, self-organised and combined their efforts in the struggle for justice. Meanwhile, all outlets for contemporary art have been forcibly closed throughout the cities of Belarus.

Witness the historic moment of a new Belarusian society unfolding – tirelessly protesting the escalating pressures of a derailed dictatorship. To avoid persecution a clever use of language, imagery, and fill-in-the-blanks inventiveness has emerged, leading to a double art of transparency and subtlety. ‘Screams of the Silenced’ is a gesture of solidarity with Belarusian artists and all other voices of resistance in Belarus.

Be immersed in a critical polyphony while exploring deeply personal first-hand accounts, exemplified by video works, prison drawings, installations, paintings, kinetic sound sculptures, interactive performance art, as well as an extensive public program.

Over 30 artists are participating in the exhibition:
