From the description of the work at the exhibition "ODKSZTAŁCENIE / DEFORMATION / UNLEARNING":
Uladzimir Hramovich sketches a history of Vozhyk – a hedgehog character and protagonist of the satirical publication – from World War II, through cold war era socialism to contemporary Belarus. Originating from the Smash Fascist Scum partisan magazine, Vozhyk inherits a critical and satirical attitude towards society. In postsocialist Belarus, in one of the iterations, it becomes part of the exhausted official visual culture, depoliticized and recreative, in another – obtains environmental awareness (as in Chernobyl Vozhyk), and later becomes one of the mouthpieces of self-organised protests in Belarus in 2020-2021.
