Into the Future Through Tradition: How and Why Contemporary Art Reinterprets Cultural Heritage

The discussion explores how contemporary art engages with the past and tradition—not only by preserving cultural heritage, but also by transforming it into a source of new meanings and ideas. The participants will discuss where the boundary lies between preservation and reinterpretation, artistic and scholarly approaches, and how these themes are reflected in the works of artists presented at Cosmoscow.

Moderator: Anna Chernikova, Deputy Editor-in-Chief at Kommersant Publishing House

Participants:

Anna Zavedi, curator of the Cosmoscow digital section

Yulia Loboyko, owner of PALATY Gallery
