Several months have passed since the creation of the Society for the Distribution of Useful Books. I think it's time to talk about goals and objectives. The name of the Society contains the phrase “useful books,” which is a kind of ironic definition of the status of books in society. Indeed, in what ways can we highlight the usefulness of this or that book? Let's say, advice for summer residents - the book is certainly very useful from the point of view of a certain social formation.

From October 24 to November 7, with the support of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, the Dar Scientific Research Institute will host the exhibition “And - Art. F - feminism. Current Dictionary" is an experiment in creating a dictionary that comprehends the relationships between art, feminism, society, criticism and practice.

Don't laugh. How many hours a day do we spend online? How many minutes do you spend without touching your phone to check facebook or instagram updates? Our dependence is a fact. The danger of Internet addiction is that we deprive ourselves of social communication. Alive. We lose the ability to build a model of another person’s psyche—the ability to look at a situation not through our own eyes (brain), but through the eyes of another person.

The Stanislavski Electrotheater showed Heiner Goebbels' production of Max Black and published Heiner Goebbels's book The Aesthetics of Absence. The performance also became a worthy finale of the Territory festival. Yes, the Electrotheater is completely autonomous and packs double punches.

But it’s incredibly interesting to follow his thoughts, even if you don’t always agree with him.

A plump woman, a ripe apple, a hot moon, seaweed, wet clay, what kind of mysterious light is hiding between your legs? What ancient night does a man's senses plunge into? Pablo Neruda Federico Fellini often talked about women, painted them and, of course, filmed them. Most of the female images he created are representative enough to be imprinted in the memory of viewers for a long time.

The public talk with the “Brusnikinites”, which took place at the TsIM after the performance “Cavalry” on October 19, actually became their first press conference as a theater, which from now on is the Dmitry Brusnikin Workshop. To document this historical moment, we have made a brief summary of the conversation.

In the past month, we have two news in Belarus: one that did not surprise anyone, and the second - very unexpected and stunning. The first one is about the new president with an old nickname, and the second one is about the Belarusian writer Svitlana Aleksievich who became a Nobel laureate in the field of literature.

Rana Hamadeh’s performance “Can you Pull in an Actor with a Fishhook or Tie Down his Tongue with a Rope?” is an eight-channel sound play that is premised on a claim that justice is equivalent to one’s access to the dramatic means of representation. The performance takes the Shi’ite ceremony of Ashura, alongside the political, military and legal aspects of this ritual within the Lebanese and Syrian contexts, as a field for commentary and research.
