Garage launches a cycle of mediation sessions in Garage Archive Collection, a unique collection of more than 130 archives related to Russian contemporary art which is constantly expanding thanks to the addition of documents from galleries, artists, and twentieth- and twenty-first-century collectors.

Participants will be able to enter the archive, which is usually closed to the public, explore different collections and objects, and discuss them with the group. Mediation sessions are built on interaction and require active participation in the discussion.
