Author's comment:

The "Spadchina" ("Heritage") project is a substantive reflection of the Belarusian everyday life. Belarus doesn’t pay proper attention to the preservation of monuments of historical and cultural heritage, and buildings having historical value are gradually being destroyed. Architectural monuments are the cultural heritage of cities and their inhabitants; at present, historical buildings
are replaced by modern typical structures. Therefore, preserving the historical and cultural heritage is a problem of special urgency and significance.

In pursuit of rampant consumption, we destroy inherited strong houses, throw away solid furniture and household utensils emptying grandmother's chests; at the same time we strive to surround ourselves with Chinese things replacing valuable items with cheap "run-of-the-mill" goods. A consumer society is a massive consumption of material goods and the formation of an appropriate system of values and attitudes. Moreover, more than half of the purchases we make are not a vital necessity for us. The society is forced on with the idea that the possibility of acquiring
various "convenient and beautiful things" is the norm.

Each person has a great responsibility for the choice that he/she makes, what deeds, things and thoughts he/she fills in his/her life with; what things and deeds he/she values. After all, our daily choice in favour of certain things forms the choice of a society, nation and a generation. Our daily choices are directly related to the preservation of our heritage. The name of the project is written in Latin letters. Thus, due to a word-play there is the
word "China" in "Spadchina".
