DESCRIPTION:What is it like to make graphic reportage on social topics in 
 post-Soviet countries\, and what is the relationship between art and activ
 ism?\n\n*Victoria Lomasko* is an internationally acclaimed artist\, whose 
 book  _Forbidden Art_\, written with Anton Nikolaev\, won Russia’s prest
 igious Kandinsky prize\, and her second book _Other Russias_ won the 2018 
 Pushkin House prize for best book in translation. She is the co-curator of
  two long-term art and activist projects: ‘Drawing the Court’ (with Zl
 ata Ponirovska) and ‘The Feminist Pencil’ (with Nadia Plungian). Lomas
 ko's most recent projects include the 'On the Eve' exhibition at Pushkin H
 ouse and a poetic mural in GRAD’s new office at Somerset House.\nThe Gua
 rdian called Lomasko a 'brutally funny artist no gallery in Russia will to
 uch\,' as mainstream Russian galleries are afraid to work with the politic
 al art Lomasko creates. Victoria calls herself 'the last Soviet artist'.\n
 During the event Victoria will tell more about her latest unfinished work\
 , as well as about the development of activism in contemporary Russia and 
 the connections between personal and societal transitions. \nThe talk will
  be followed by a discussion and is part of Russian Coffee Break.\n
