How come freedom is a female?
At least in gender-inflected languages for sure. We open our Community and Culture Center with a serious question from Belarusian I.Lutskevich Museum. The answer lies in the exhibition which consists not only of artistic works and curatorial musings, but also of visitor contributions: artistic ones, angry ones, consoling and everything in between.
In the exhibition we ask the visitors to become participants: to write their feelings, to polemise, to express themselves on the museum walls.
