Art As a Tool of Resistance and Solidarity / On the role of the artist in wartime

Embroidery, traditionally used in folk art, allows stories to be told through symbols and decorative patterns. Artist Rufina Bazlova uses this technique to depict political and social issues such as persecution in Belarus and the war in Ukraine. Narratives from personal experience will present stories of courage and the power of solidarity, including a project dedicated to political prisoners in Belarus. It will reveal the importance of manual labour and community support in difficult times. Rufina will also touch on the role of traditional ornaments in issues of self-identification and decolonization.

Speaker: Rufina Bazlova
