My name is Ulyana Nevzorova. I live and work as a visual artist in Minsk, the capital of Belarus. In my most recent works, I try to process the political events in my country. I’ve spent my whole life in a dictatorship. At this point, my role as a citizen and my artistic practice overlap. Here are some examples of my actions from last year.
Street Art Battle

This graffiti was painted on a transformer house in a residential area of Minsk. I didn’t make it myself, but I’ve always been very interested in street art. I photographed the work to archive it, because all graffiti in Belarus are painted over by the municipal utilities company. That’s censorship in public spaces, so to speak. I wanted to save this image from oblivion with my camera.
