Dear colleagues and friends,
We would like to invite you to our next and the last, before summer break, Russian Cultural Friday, with the following topic : « Perestrojka! »
This event will take place on the 16th of May 2014, Friday, at the premises of next door to Aloft Hotel, Sushi’ Place in Brussels, and it be dedicated to alternative, untamed and underground creative movements of Perestrojka’s period!
Our event will focus on the creative energy emitted by passionate heroes, who created alternative culture in the late stagnation years, which is also known by the Russian word Perestrojka, which literally means « reconstruction ».
During this period of drastic political change, economical instability, lack of financial resources there was happening an outburst of creativity, do-it-yourself enthusiasm and exciting search for the new ways of expression, despite the dangers and insecurities of such activity.A highly dynamic self-made culture emerged just before the Perestrojka and quickly set trends for future developments in art, fashion and music.
Though isolated from the rest of the world, the more sensitive young people tuned in to the ideas that were « hanging in the air » all around the world and communicated « signs of the time » through music, fashion and lifestyle.
They created a world of their own, which served as a bright alternative to the depressing reality of the last days of communism.
This was a relatively short, but extremely inspiring period in the 90s of previous century...
Come and join us for creative presentations, life music and dance performances, Perestrojka’s period’s film and photos’ exhibition from Moscow subculture archives and more! Special Spasibo for our partner and friend, Maxim Goldfinger and his “Window to Europe” Foundation for all the artistic & creative support!
