We are kindly inviting you to the artist talk with Sasha Velichko - participant of PerspAKTIV residency program and the exhibition of its alumni  КРОПКА СХОДУ/VANISHING POINT.

During the talk the artist will present her autistic projects  that explore the Belarusian context through the themes of collective trauma, control, and propaganda. Participants will gain insight into contemporary Belarus and learn how people live and resist under a dictatorship.
 
Sasha Velichko (b.1993, Slonim, Belarus) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans photography, installation, textile and new media. Her work investigates propaganda, post-truth, collective and individual trauma—especially in the context of contemporary Belarus.

She is a recipient of the «Gaude Polonia» scholarship from the Polish Ministry of Culture and received the prestigious Konrad Pustoła Award from the Krytyka Polityczna organization. Her works have been exhibited at the National Gallery of Art Zachęta in Warsaw, the Circulation(s) festival in Paris, the Bunkier Sztuki Gallery of Contemporary Art in Krakow, and the Singapore International Photography Festival (SIPF). In 2025, her project will be presented at the Les Boutographies festival in France. Sasha’s work has been published in Magnum, PHmuseum, The Steidz, Fisheye magazine, ORONSKO, and SZUM.
