EXHIBITION ILLUSTRATORS_NATIVE
Murnau Filmtheater
Thu, 27.04. – Tue, 02.05. / 15 – 22:30
Admission Free
The project “ILLUSTRATORS_NATIVE” was initiated in January 2023 with the aim of creating a supportive and inspiring community for diverse illustrators from Russia’s indigenous populations. Within this community, Seseg Jigjitova and Rinchina Azheeva publish and promote the works of illustrators dedicated to the depiction and rethinking of these native cultures and stories.
The participating artists come from diverse artistic fields and make use of different media: from graphic novels to textile art all the way to animation and video installations. In doing so, they allow their different backgrounds to shape their creative practices, in order to provide more visibility for indigenous cultures and to challenge the repression that they have been subjected to, and still face.
