What does it mean to be an artist outside the bounds of the permissible? An authorial mediation by a representative of theater, journalist, and poet - this is a chance to see the underground not as an abstraction, but as a system of gestures, poses, and expressive rituals that have developed in defiance of prohibitions. At the center of the conversation is the underground as a cultural phenomenon that has retained its power even in today's artistic context. The Soviet era gave rise to a special type of artistic expression - hidden, nurtured in workshops and kitchens, not intended for publicity. But with the collapse of the system, the underground did not disappear - it continued to exist as a way of thinking, as a form of gesture, and as an internal resistance. Today, we can observe it not only in the works of artists but also in how these works are presented, read, and reinterpreted. The authorial mediation of Semyon Chirkov is an invitation to look at the exhibition of the Museum of the Underground through the lens of theatrical and ritual. How do limitations and freedom relate, what poses and gestures arise from the inability to speak directly, and how do these limitations become a form - all this will be the subject of a lively conversation in the space of art. Guests, together with the mediator, will explore how the underground artist shapes their language based on circumventions, and what images are fixed in memory precisely because they were not imposed by the official discourse. The uniqueness of this format lies in the combination of deep analysis and live observation. This is not a lecture or a tour, but a joint reflection, where the audience is an active participant. The mediation is aimed at those interested in contemporary art, the history of the underground, theatrical forms of expression, and the cultural optics of new meanings. The opportunity to look at already familiar exhibits differently, through the eyes of a person who creates texts and contexts, makes this meeting especially valuable. Semyon Chirkov's mediation is characterized by an authorial perspective based on experience in theater and journalism. He offers to view the exhibition not as a collection of works, but
