RUSSIAN ACTIVISTS — GOLD KEY

Typography is a collective from russia that still sees art as a discursive power. 

Until February 24, 2022, we worked in Krasnodar, focusing on the local context. You can read about it on the old website. After the start of a full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine and the registration of Typography as a foreign agent, we were forced to suspend public activities, close our space down, and leave russia. 

Since February 24, we were working non-publicly — organizing a residence in Yerevan; KICA — Krasnodar Institute of Contemporary Art; and Fantasia Community Radio

This website comes out of a desire to return to the public field and continue the conversation about things that are important to us: war, decolonial possibility, forced migration, and state violence. 

In our first project, Translocal Dialogues on Home, Migration and Solidarity, we invite artists, activists, researchers and cultural workers from different contexts to talk with each other.
