“Contact Line” Project: Art uniting memory and traditions

"Contact Line" is a large-scale art project dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory Day. It is more than just an exhibition, but a vibrant space for dialogue between the past and the present, between different art forms and generations of creators, uniting painting, graphics, and poetry.

The concept is based on the idea of ​​continuity and unity. The project’s creators (the curatorial group “IZBA”) demonstrate how the memory of the Great Patriotic War is transmitted through creativity. This is a conversation about eternal values: love for the Motherland, faith in Russia’s future, and the hope for the preservation of cultural traditions.

The name ” Contact Line” symbolizes many points of contact
