About

Anna Novikova's lecture will explore how exhibitions change the perspective on the city and transform personal observations into a collective narrative. Attendees will learn how photographs, family archives, art projects, and children's drawings become material for discussions about places, memory, urban emotions, and the role of residents in the cultural landscape. The city is made up not only of streets, houses, and routes. Personal impressions play an important role: a random snapshot, a child's drawing, a family photograph, a note on a phone, a short text about a favorite yard or a place that has long caused anxiety. Such materials are increasingly becoming the basis for exhibition projects, where residents act as co-authors of the conversation about their surroundings. In the concluding lecture of the course "Feeling the City: Media and Emotions," the focus will be on curatorial work as a way to gather disparate observations into a cohesive statement. A modern gallery can be a space where private experience takes form, and familiar places begin to be read differently. Street photography, archival photographs, independent art initiatives, and visual diaries help to see what emotions connect people to a neighborhood, square, house, wasteland, or embankment. Where to go in Yekaterinburg is known by KudaGo.
