"Alphabet of War" is an international exhibition project that brings together the author's statements of artists from Belarus, Russia and Ukraine on the topic of the Second World War. Photographs, archival and modeled artefacts, installations, paintings and graphics form an exhibition and create a context for research and search for answers to the questions: how we today perceive and respond to the messages of the Second World War / Great Patriotic War, how they are read by modern people and what originally existing meanings are preserved in the historical memory of our contemporaries? Often, a story for us is a kind of stable narrative that is built on selected key events with designated heroes/anti-heroes. This exhibition is an opportunity to see and tell history in a different way. 9 authors develop the theme of war through the prism of private family mythology, connecting the "living memory of war" with the "hard subjectivity" of photographic evidence and documents, making an intervention of history in the Internet space, exploring the "sign language" of war, redefining the role of the legacy of the military past. The project becomes an artistic act of marking historical archives against the background of the present. Contemporary art carries out this action through image objects that continue to convey informational signals of varying degrees of social, historical, and emotional intensity. These messages are accumulated in a created system, designated as the "Alphabet of War".
