WHO WE ARE:
We are 1500 cultural Belarusians and we want our country back! We are the concerned artists and musicians from all corners of Belarus, all genres of art, music, culture,

  • Helped artists that were subjected to the pressure by the dictatorship through the support of artistic projects, fostered the creation of artistic expression focused on a free Belarus
  • Helped over 200 artists who have spoken against dictatorship legally, financially, psychologically.
  • Raised awareness through the social media campaign #By_Culture


  • Showcased over 100 anti-authoritarian expressions at https://tuzinfm.culture
  • Received tens of thousands of social views to highlight these struggles
THE SITUATION IN BELARUS
Since 1994, Lukashenko has held an iron-fist on the citizens of Belarus. It is constantly listed as one of the top human rights abuse countries in Eastern Europe by Amnesty International. Lukashenko has locked up hundreds of artists, musicians, poets (link to the repressed list), thousands have been fired or forced to resign in protest. Street musicians are being jailed, street art is being wiped or burnt out, performances of artists who are not afraid to speak out are being canceled. Black lists are being replenished each day.

The country has pushed for a general strike and we need the world to join us to pressure Lukashenko to step down. Our moment is now!
