Aims

This website was launched in response to the successful ‘Cultural Exchange: Russia and the West’ conference at the University of Bristol in 2011. The aim is to create an ongoing forum for discussion of Russian art and culture.

This site allows academics, curators, researchers and interested members of the public to both submit articles and to read about the latest developments in Russian art, theory and criticism. We also aim to keep you informed of interesting related events such as exhibitions and lectures. [read more]
