Opening reception for exhibition and release of international comic book magazine CBA:
A Russian Dance With Shackles

CBK in collaboration with Malmö University Comics Hub
The exhibition is open November 24 – December 5
Opening reception November 24, 15.00 – 18.00 p.m.

This issue of CBA offers new insights through voices of resistance from a neighbor who affects us all: Russia. How were its dreams of democracy shattered? How did it go from flaunting extravagant Eurovision stunts to prisoners dying at the frontline in Ukraine? From celebrating V-day with Americans on the Red Square to threatening nuclear war. Is it possible to steer into other pathways?

Through the stories of Russian and ex-Russian artists, these comics share rarely heard perspectives on what it means to live within these changes, reflections that are normally out of reach for Western readers.

At the opening of the exhibition, drop by and listen to further perspectives presented by:

• Bo Petersson, Professor of Political Science and IMER at Malmö University, and director of the research platform RUCARR - Russia, Ukraine and the Caucasus Regional Research
  and
• An artist who has contributed to the anthology, but wishes to remain anonymous.
• During this day, you can also see a recorded interview with the artist Victoria Lomasko, known for her work on contemporary Russian society.
