Belarusian musician Siarhei Douhushau has announced that he has decided to close Dom Tvorcau and the Belarusian shelter in Warsaw. The Dom Tvorcau foundation, however, will continue its work, he wrote on Facebook on November 9.

Douhushau explained that he had been engaged in charitable work since 2021 and now wanted to devote more time to his family and loved ones.

“Since 2021, I have been helping people and doing social and charitable work, and now my resources are exhausted. I want to help myself now and spend more time with my family and loved ones,” he wrote.

The musician noted that people had been able to live in the project’s houses free of charge for months at a time. He thanked the team, administrators, volunteers, as well as organisations and private donors who had supported the work of the houses and shelters. According to him, the Dom Tvorcau foundation will continue to exist alongside other creative projects. Douhushau did not specify when the venues would close.

Dom Tvorcau was founded in Warsaw in December 2021 to support Belarusian cultural figures. The project organised art, theatre and music residencies, exhibitions, performances and concerts. According to the project, more than 80 applications were submitted for its two summer art residencies in 2026.
