The Return of Memory. Part of a Revolution Betrayed?
Unofficial histories, suppressed memories and strategies of resistance all converge in our new major group exhibition, which seeks to redress the legacy of the Russian Revolution on its centenary by exploring how contemporary artists are responding to the state of the “New East” today. Rather than a nostalgic look at the past, new commissions and existing works re‑activate and repurpose key emblems and stories of this past — from the avant‑garde and revolution to the collapse of the Communist system and ideology — addressing key questions around the concept of The Return of Memory, curated by Anya Harrison, Sarah Perks and Olya Sova.
