The project, curated by Belarusian <b>Volha Mzhelskaya<\/b>, brings together artists from Belarus and Poland in an attempt to reflect on the experience of a \u201cdamaged life\u201d and fragmented memory.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition will be held in the new experimental space SIC (Sharing is Caring) in the Vesterbro district. It is not merely an art display but an exploration of how, in conditions of crisis and political pressure, a person attempts to reconstruct their identity.<\/p>\n<p>The authors turn to the idea of \u201cdamaged life\u201d (beskadiget liv). In a situation where the past is being destroyed and archives become inaccessible, fragmentation becomes the only honest way to remember. The process of \u201creassembling oneself\u201d from the fragments of history is transformed by the artists into an act of creative and civic resilience.<\/p>\n<p>Participants in the project include <b>Volha Savich<\/b>, <b>Ula Karotki<\/b>, <b>Magda Buchak<\/b>, <b>Bartek Arobal<\/b>, as well as anonymous authors.<\/p>\n<p>The significance of the exhibition is highlighted by the participation of <b>Marta Czy\u017c<\/b>, curator of the Polish pavilion at the 2024 Venice Biennale. A discussion with her participation will serve as the conceptual framework of the project, placing Belarusian and Eastern European issues at the center of contemporary European art.<\/p>\n<p>The event will take place on 11 March at 17:00 at the SIC space in Copenhagen, Flensborggade 57.<\/p>\n<p>The project will run until 29 March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 11 March an international exhibition \u201cBeyond the Direct Gaze\u201d will open in Copenhagen.
