With support from ArtPower Belarus, ZOLAK is developing as a Belarusian cultural micro-residency in Vilnius. Since 2025, it has brought together artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers and members of cultural initiatives.
ZOLAK operates as a multifunctional space for creativity, professional collaboration and cultural dialogue. It hosts exhibitions, film screenings, concerts, lectures, book presentations and gatherings of creative communities, while also providing space for rehearsals, workshops, documentary filming and the development of new artistic projects.
Thanks to the grant, the team is developing a regular programme of approximately ten public events per month. Ongoing formats include Belarusian film screenings under the title BEL.KINO AT ZOLAK, FR3AK FLAG jazz and experimental jam sessions, exhibitions by Belarusian artists, lectures, discussions and literary events.
The opportunity to use the venue outside public events is equally important. ZOLAK provides Belarusian creatives with a place to develop ideas, collaborate and launch new initiatives.
