Exhibition and event program

Өмә ([ömee]; Bashqort for “collective self-help practices”) is a laboratory, exhibition and public program concerned with racism, identity, and imperialism in today’s russia and the former USSR, both in its hegemonic self-image and in the West. Through various commissions created by members of Indigenous and colonized communities, as well as people with multi-ethnic and migrant identities, the project aims to become a platform for examining russian colonialism and anticolonial resistance.

A project of nGbK in cooperation with Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien.
