The Saxon town Bautzen and Saxony’s capitol Dresden became on 28th and 29th October 2011 stages of an interdisciplinary, Trans-European art exhibition.
How do Belarusian artists face up to the actual political situation in their homeland and how do other Europeans imagine culture and life in Belarus? A presentation of contemporary artworks and projects in the Bautzen Steinhaus and the Dresden Scheune for the first time offered a German audience the opportunity to get insights into artistic examinations of this topic. The two events were hosted within the frame of the project “Show Europe – Show Belarus”, in which artists from Belarus, Sweden, Estonia, Lithuania, Germany and Portugal collaborate and present their works in all abovementioned countries.

The team of the project would like to thank all Belarusian candidates who applied for participation in our campaign and have been waiting patiently for the selection results. For several months an international commission has been picking out the best among the contenders – and now we are happy to announce the list of candidates who have been recommended by the experts for participation in our campaign.

The First Group of Performers Is Formed. They will present their art in Portugal. The group includes: Music. Akana. Visual arts. Konstantin Selikhanov. Photography Photo. Yura Matiyun.

 The project was launched on 3 March in the hotel “Europa” in Minsk. The press conference dedicated to the start of the project attracted more than 40 journalists from the leading Belarusian media. It was also visited by the representative of the Delegation of the European Union in Belarus. The organization had backed “Show Europe – Show Belarus” earlier.
