Where is the boundary between art and protest? The first lecture in the "Discourse" series will transport listeners to the 1960s - an era of freedom, radical ideas, and underground culture. What happens when art goes beyond the official and enters the underground? In the first lecture of the "Discourse" series, participants will embark on a journey through the 1960s - a time when creative freedom, the spirit of protest, and the search for new forms of expression swept the globe. From New York to Moscow, from Prague to Tokyo - the underground became a global phenomenon, uniting diverse people, groups, and movements in the quest to change the cultural landscape. Listeners will learn how the art of those years reflected global turbulence and transformed in response to social challenges. Punks, hippies, dissidents, beatniks - each of these communities had its own ideology, language, and visual or sonic expression. The lecture will help understand how the underground became a language of resistance on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Particular attention will be paid to Soviet nonconformism, the psychedelic wave, and the musical and artistic revolution of the 60s. Listeners will discover how the identity of these movements was formed and why the legacy of the 60s continues to influence contemporary culture. The lecture will be led by social anthropologist Maria Propiszova, curator of MASAI. Where to go in Moscow on weekends will be suggested by our website.
