Organised by
Eastside Projects, supported by Iran Heritage Foundation.
Introduction
Artists are playing with words again – raiding the archive, bringing the dead to life, making the living look dead. Quicker than the ever-elusive present, they are forging a practice through words, images, books, and ephemera, that begins to anticipate the past, forecast possible histories and re-visit alternative futures.
Slavs and Tatars
A faction of polemics and intimacies devoted to an area east of the former Berlin Wall and west of the Great Wall of China known as Eurasia. The collective’s work spans several media, disciplines, and a broad spectrum of cultural registers, focusing on an oft-forgotten sphere of influence between Slavs, Caucasians and Central Asians. First commissioned by Book Works in 2008 for Kidnapping Mountains, this new project, which explores the possibilities of solidarity between Poland and Iran takes the form of a billboard poster, newspaper and an archival installation. Slavs and Tatars are scattered throughout Eurasia.
