sometimes i hold onto the air - часам я трымаюся за паветра Belarusian Artists in Exile
sometimes i hold onto the air is an exhibition in which young Belarusian artists in exile reflect on the protests that radically transformed their lives and the years that followed. Their art works deal with the repression in their home country and the fear of constant surveillance that is incessant even in exile. They explore the plight of not belonging and the endless loops of state bureaucracy that they face while abroad. The exhibition seeks to give expression to the personal experience of artists in exile today, which is by no means a uniquely Belarusian issue.
The title of the exhibition is from a poem by Belarusian poet Volha Hapayeva, who is also currently living in exile in Germany. In her essay, Die Verteidigung der Poesie in Zeiten dauernden Exils (In Defence of Poetry in Times of Permanent Exile) she invokes poetry and art as a means for free thought and resistance against the bureaucratic language of states and dictatorial violence.
The exhibition is a cooperative project by Galerie im Körnerpark, Prater Galerie, and the Goethe Institute in Exil.
With poetry by Volha Hapeyeva
Curated by Katharina von Hagenow, Uladzimir Hramovich & Paulina Olszewska
