Warsaw has become a hub of creative talent for artists from around the former Soviet Union, especially after Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine
Krivich, who has lived in Poland for more than a decade, now organises exhibitions, workshops and other events at Warsaw's Museum of Modern Art with the aim of confronting what she sees as the collective trauma of Russian colonialism.
"Many of my friends from Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine and Belarus feel at home here, also mentally, culturally and ideologically… We have a common past," Krivich told Reuters.Belarusian director, actress and singer Palina Dabravolskaya, 27, performs at Nowy Teatr theatre in Warsaw, Poland July 3, 2023.

"When the revolution in Belarus began, artists started fleeing... Then Ivan Vyrypaev proposed making a theatre play with Belarusian actors and that is how our huge cooperation with the New Theatre began," Dashuk said. "Poland is the only country where Belarusians can easily legalise their stay... All independent art initiatives that used to be in Minsk are now in Warsaw," said Dashuk.
