Since moment of rising to power of Alexander Lukashenko in 1994, the whole generation of Belarusians has grown up. These are young people who soon will determine the future of the country. Do they want to initiate changes, or vice versa, will avoid them?

I want to understand what this generation is concerned with, what they feel living in today’s Belarus. I am interested in the limits of their responsibility and courage, the degree of involvement into the actual processes, their need for change. I would like to give an opportunity to the chorus of daring, dreamy, quiet, sometimes apathetic and indifferent, helpless and often conflicting voices to be heard.

This generation seems to be looking at the reality with from a new perspective, and sooner or later they would start changing the social environment, public space, culture and many other things. To change everything that got frozen somewhere between the Soviet era socialism and a mixture of suppressed capitalism and a fear of authoritarianism.

When talking with young people, I often felt the air of the past generation. But at the same time many of my characters showed an active position, they think critically and act much bolder than their environment, they are not afraid to stand out and go against the stream. I want to believe that it is from such individuals that the core of a new generation of the Belarusians is formed and that they would be free enough to make the world a more pleasant place to live.
