Belarus Festival

Belarus

From 22 - 25 March 2024, the Kunsthaus ACUD in Berlin was dedicated to Belarusian culture in the diaspora. It became a stage and a lively discussion and thinking space for Belarusian artists and cultural workers who had to leave their home country due to the dramatic situation in the country over the past three years and are now living in exile in Berlin, Warsaw, Krakow, Vilnius or Tbilisi.

Here you will find picture highlights of the Belarus Festival, at which over 50 theater makers, filmmakers, authors, poets, musicians, philosophers, visual artists and activists from Belarus presented a diverse interdisciplinary programme.
