Two shows ongoing at the nEUROPA art gallery
The nEUROPA Gallery in Dresden, Germany, is hosting an intriguing photography exhibition titled "Tradition and Change" by Belarusian photographer Andrei Liankevich. The gallery, located at Bautzner Straße 49, 01099 Dresden, can be found online at kulturaktiv.org/galerie-neuropa.
Liankevich's exhibition focuses on his current project documenting traditional interiors in Belarus. His aim is to capture the gradual disappearance of these designs in Belarusian homes, offering a visual narrative that blends documentary style with artistic sensitivity. The project already includes over 100 documented rooms.
The exhibition, which runs throughout August, invites reflections on identity, memory, and cultural preservation. By presenting this exhibition in Dresden, it also extends the conversation about Eastern European cultural heritage and current realities to a broader European audience.
Andrei Liankevich will be present at both the opening reception on August 1st from 8 PM to 10 PM and a discussion on August 5th at 7 PM. The opening reception on August 2nd will also take place, from 5 PM to 7 PM.
In addition to Liankevich's exhibition, the nEUROPA Gallery in Dresden is presenting another exhibition in August. The clown Atlas, who combines performance with political messaging, is touring North Bohemia and Saxony on his cargo bike. Atlas's tour explores themes of transformation, gravity, and ecological change.
A pop-up exhibition with a workshop featuring Atlas will take place at the Neumarkt in Dresden on August 5th, from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Atlas encourages viewers to engage with questions about the environment and societal change.
In the future, a digital online archive will be created for users to upload photos of traditional interiors, furthering Liankevich's project and promoting cultural preservation.
For those interested in Belarusian culture or photography that addresses themes of heritage and social change, Andrei Liankevich's "Tradition and Change" is a compelling exhibition to explore. For specific dates and further details about the exhibitions at nEUROPA Gallery, I recommend checking the gallery's official announcements or contacting them directly, as exhibition schedules can vary.
