On November 16th, dear Anna Bitkina (DAI, 2018) invites us to join a screening and a discussion around the exhibition "The Feat" by Mikhail Tolmachev at Platform POST. This edition focuses on the visual languages and stories of recent and contemporary wars, but also on the way in which military history is presented in the public sphere and in historical museums. The invited speakers filmmaker Vladlena Sandu and artist Ilya Rabinovich will talk about the analysis and interpretation of military documents and processes developed for military propaganda, national identity and historiography.
Ilya Rabinovich and Vladlena Sandu will talk about the analysis and interpretation of military documents and processes developed for military propaganda, national identity and historiography.
