Contemporary art

No. The exhibition curated by Meduza

Kunstraum Kreuzberg / Bethanien

April 26 to July 6, 2025

In 2014, a team of independent journalists left Russia to escape pressure and censorship. In exile, they created Meduza, now one of the most important independent Russian-language media outlets.

The exhibition “No”, curated by Meduza, is a multidisciplinary project that weaves together contemporary art and documentary testimonies. It immerses the audience into the experiences of ordinary people who have learned to live and work in extreme circumstances.

The title “No”, «Нет» in Russian, is a statement of resistance. This exhibition unites the voices of those who continue to say no — to dictatorship, censorship, fear and war. It is an homage to independent journalists, political activists and all those who have the courage to disagree.

The exhibition’s storytelling is structured around two narratives: the works of 13 international artists and a documentary project created specifically for the exhibition. This non-fiction section, directed by playwright Mikhail Durnenkov, features close-up video portraits of Meduza journalists and contributors — people who have witnessed this historical time.
