SOS from Belarus

"Supporting political prisoners and artists is one of the most crucial aspects of our work. To draw attention to these individuals and raise money to help their families, from time to time we organize charity auctions. In October we put up for auction the work by the artist Rufina Bazlova. An embroidered portrait of the artist — political prisoner Ales Pushkin, who is in prison on false charges of rehabilitating Nazism and inciting hostility, became the lot. According to the decision of its new owner, this work of contemporary art will become one of the exhibits of the Free Belarus Museum." Read more through this link.
