Center for Civic Engagement, Historical Studies Program, OSUN, and Russian/Eurasian Studies Program Present

Guest Lecture: Margarita Kuleva, Visiting Assistant Professor, NYU Russian and Slavic Department

As a part of Memory-studies seminar, the lecture portrays a new generation of creative laborers re-inhabiting former Soviet factories with post-industrial projects such as contemporary art centers, creative spaces, and clusters. Margarita addresses their working lives and memory of space, the new ‘stakhanovization’ of the labor, and the role of these ‘cultural oases’ in post-Soviet cities. The lecture is based on ethnographic data and includes examples from Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine.
