- **Event Description**: Artists from the East of Europe explore archives, local contexts and family stories in the new exhibition by Open Eye Gallery.About this EventJoin Open Eye Gallery for the launch of the new exhibition!The projects featured in the exhibition range from an exploration of post-WW2 displacement and border changes through the stories of families from Poland, Germany, and Ukraine to the history of the Crimean Tatars in the 20th century to a decades-long photographic exploration of life in the Latvian countryside; from playful collages deconstructing Soviet tourist photographs to a speculative video dealing with the disappearance of the family archive.Viktoria Bavykina, who curated the exhibition together with Open Eye Gallery’s Max Gorbatskyi, said:  “This exhibition is the first attempt in our long-term work with photography archives from countries occupied or influenced by the Soviet regime, whose histories, legacies, and lives were shaped by years of totalitarian and imperial rule. During this project, which we want to build with our current and future partners across Europe, we want to commission artists and photographers to work with their local private, public, and vernacular archives, reconsidering them from a contemporary perspective.” The exhibition features works by Karolina Gembara, Emine Ziyatdin, Andrii Dostliev, Lia Dostlieva, Līga Goldberga, Zenta Dzividzinska.More information TBA.
