Curatorial context

The exhibition 'Białoruś. Droga do wolności' (Belarus. The Road to Freedom) presents a critical look at the recent protests and the Belarusian society's ongoing fight for democracy and free elections. It features thirty impactful photographs taken by Iryna Arakhouskaya, Nadia Buzhan, Tacciana Kapitonava, and Aliaksandr Vasiukovich, who risked their safety to document the events for 'Biełsat' TV and 'Nasza Niwa' weekly. These images capture the large-scale demonstrations, peaceful marches, women's protests, and the confrontations with security forces, providing a visual narrative of the struggle against authoritarian rule that has persisted since 1991. Realized through the initiative of the 'Belarusian House' Foundation in Warsaw in cooperation with the History Meeting House, the exhibition aims to foster understanding of Belarus's aspirations among Polish society and Europe. The accompanying calendar highlights key dates in contemporary Belarusian history, illustrating the gradual consolidation of the authoritarian regime and the growing resistance. Curator Aleś Zarembiuk emphasizes the shared history and ongoing support between Poland and Belarus, presenting a stark contrast between the peaceful demonstrators seeking freedom and the repressive actions of the militia.
