With support from ArtPower Belarus under Track 2, Belarusian artist Rufina Bazlova implemented #FramedInBelarus, an international art initiative that uses embroidery to preserve personal testimonies of Belarusians affected by political repression.
One of the outcomes was an online gallery displaying more than 280 embroidered testimonies alongside the stories of their creators. The digital platform makes these materials available to a broad audience and lays the foundation for an open archive of collective memory that can grow through new works and testimonies.
Another key milestone was the presentation of a large-scale textile installation at the National Gallery in Prague as part of the Matter of Art 2026 international biennial. The installation brought together hundreds of embroidered testimonies in a single artwork, accompanied by a digital catalogue that allows visitors to explore each story individually.
