In the presence of Nicolay Oleynikov, Dmitry Vilensky and Olga Egorova (Chto Delat? collective), Ernesto Oroza (head of CyDRe, editorial director of Azimuts, curator of the exhibition À l’intérieur de la production), and students of CyDRe (Esadse research cycle)
With participation of Maria Moreira (in charge of the development of international projects, Cité du design - Esadse).
Chto Delat? is a collective of artists, philosophers and critics from St. Petersburg, Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod created in 2003. Working as an autonomous platform, Chto Delat? proposes to politicize the production of knowledge through cultural activities and the creation of videos, theatrical forms, radio programs, lectures, exhibitions and didactic murals. Its collective practice includes the critique of educational processes, with the opening of schools or educational programmes for political engagement.
Since 2020, l'Esadse closely works with the collective, thanks to the support of the Institut Français de Saint-Petersbourg.
During the round table, the participants of this joint project will talk about their experience of working together despite the distance, the pandemic and, since February 2022, the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
