Summary:

"Days after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Lithuanian curator and writer Raimundas Malašauskas resigned as curator of the Russian Pavilion at the 59th Venice Bienniale, along with participating artists Alexandra Sukhareva and Kirill Savchenkov, citing the war as "politically and emotionally unbearable." Using his letter of resignation, which Malašauskas posted to Instagram on February 27th, Lauren Wetmore interviews him about what led to this decision-"I started from my experience of being in the Empire and not wanting to go back"-and the complexities of its reception within different networks of impact across the international art world, the Russian political and cultural regime, and Malašauskas's Lithuanian community. With this episode Momus both condemns the Russian war on Ukraine, and echoes Malašauskas's assertion of the existence of many "different Russias" by extending solidarity to its artists and creative communities."-- provided by distributor.
