Whilst the world watches the Capitol with relief, the battle to assert democracy in Belarus wages on. Efforts to depose \u2018Europe\u2019s last dictator\u2019 Alexander Lukashenko began last May, and are now entering their eighth month. It\u2019s been a brutal winter. Every day, people take to the streets, despite the pandemic, the heavy snowfall, and the OMON \u2013 Belarus\u2019 paramilitary riot police. More than 30,000 have now been arrested, 1373 injured, 50 are missing, and four confirmed dead \u2013 although the true figures may be higher. Dissidents hang decorations from their windows in red and white, the colours of the ancestral Belarusian flag.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Online too, the red-and-white flag is widely shared \u2013 perhaps more so, as the public display of separatist symbols has been criminalised. On the Instagram page <\/span>@artistswithbelarus <\/b><\/a>\u2013 the virtual front line, if you will \u2013 recurring motifs abound: angels, women in white, masked thugs, injury detail, cranes in flight, cockroaches, a vicious bear trap in the shape of a jewelled crown. Some of the images are finished pieces, some are rough sketches, others are too explicit to be printed here. This is folk art in its raw form \u2013 bloody, earnest, and uncompromising.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For this piece, I spoke to three young artists about how Belarusians are using art to respond to the chaos. Meet Darya, Ekaterina, and Yana.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Without protection \/ Daria Trublina<\/a><\/h6>\n

Darya Trublina<\/b><\/a> is a graphic designer, illustrator and filmmaker from Minsk. Her style is witty, bordering on the surreal \u2013 one animation depicts Lukashenko as an elderly <\/span>babushka<\/span><\/i>, cradling security men shaped like purring, black cats. Her series of illustrations \u2018Without Protection,\u2019 is shown here, the bold colours and angular figures reminding me of Keith Haring at the top of his game. There is a binary quality to the symbols \u2013 angels, demon-like police, which Darya defends fiercely:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s become so clear and unambiguous for everyone that we can compare <\/span>[the political situation in Belarus]<\/span> with the struggle between good and evil. Violence and injustice in my country cause people to go to the protests. They can\u2019t be afraid anymore. For me, the Belarusian people have become real heroes and angels who fight for our freedom and a better future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s survive this year so that everybody can go home, <\/span>Sv\u0435tlana Tikhanovskaya \/ Ekaterina Z\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maria Kalesnikava \/ Ekaterina Z<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n

Every revolution needs its heroes. Whilst these protests have been defined by heavy sacrifices on the parts of many formerly apolitical Belarusians, a few women have emerged as leaders. Despite her lack of political experience, Sv\u0435tlana Tikhanovskaya became Lukashenko\u2019s main rival, following the arrest of her husband, the activist Sergei Tikhanovsky. Maria Kalesnikava, an influential musician and campaigner, was kidnapped and jailed in September 2020 and has since been recognised by Amnesty International as a prisoner of conscience. <\/span>Ekaterina Z<\/b><\/a>, an illustrator from Minsk,<\/span> is one of many artists to depict Tikhanovskaya and Kalesnikava in her work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I am struck by the timeless quality of her illustrations. The stylised figures, looking straight ahead or in profile, recall Orthodox saints \u2013 fittingly, given the icon role they fulfil for Belarusian protestors. There are echoes too, of early Soviet revolutionary posters, which themselves drew on Orthodox imagery. For Ekaterina, creativity is very much an instinctive response.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>I\u2019ve been drawing since I was a kid,\u201d <\/span>she tells me, <\/span>\u201cIt\u2019s a big part of my life. By drawing, I experience all events that occur. And since August, my main theme has been the events happening right here, in Belarus.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The full scale of the horror in Belarus is unknown, even within the country itself. There have been brutal and often sexual violence against male and female protesters, with the UN Human Rights Office registering 450 instances of torture. Artists have not shied away from depicting the darkest aspects of the conflict. <\/span>Yana Chernova<\/b><\/a>, 24, a painter from Minsk now studying in Moscow, approaches this subject with unflinching realism in her portrait \u2018Belarusian Venus.\u2019 Enlarging the bruises beyond the point of abstraction, Yana\u2019s brush finds beauty. This is a provocative composition, but there is a stillness to it, through which some of the dignity taken from the subject is restored. Wherever there is detail – uncomfortable though the detail may be – we look more closely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Belarusian Venus \/ Yana Chernova\u00a0<\/a><\/h6>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yana reminds me of Lukashenko\u2019s infamous remarks, following the peaceful protests of August 10<\/span>th<\/span>-13<\/span>th<\/span> 2020. Denying the official sanctioning of force, the president claimed: <\/span>\u201cSome girls had their booties painted with blue paint. We can show you these shots [\u2026] Well, yes, someone had a blue back. But there are no bruises today.\u2019\u2019 Regarding her own painting, she tells me: “<\/span>This violence was not only directed at women. This painting symbolises all of Belarus. The red cloth the woman lies on is in the shape of Belarus. Her face is hidden because it doesn\u2019t belong to a specific person, but the whole country. This painting is about how people all over Belarus felt, and sometimes still feel now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to publicising footage of real victims of police brutality, there\u2019s already a lot of discourse – is it ethical to respect the privacy of the individuals shown \u2013 and avoid reopening wounds for their family and friends \u2013 or to share such images as widely as possible, perhaps preventing future casualties? Furthermore, even if one argues in favour of publishing such graphic footage, state censorship remains a huge problem in Belarus \u2013 over the last year alone, 470 independent journalists were detained, and 50 media websites shut down. Sharing paintings and other abstract images in place of footage partially addresses both these issues, yet still retains the same power to shock, and to move us on a human level. This is just one of the ways in which protest art has gained real weight in the struggle against totalitarianism in Belarus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether by documenting the graphic violence, celebrating their heroes, or depicting the excesses of Lukashenko\u2019s regime through symbolism and satire, dissident artists offer us a glimpse into what a democratic Belarus could look like. Darya, Ekaterina and Yana are three artists amongst thousands \u2013 scroll through the @artistswithbelarus<\/a><\/strong> page, and you will see as many responses to the crisis as there are individuals. Some echo each other in style, others clash, but the same slogans are repeated over and over \u2013 freedom, democracy and an end to violence. Unanimously, the young artists of Belarus reject the methods of those who would silence them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
