About

20 artists from Dagestan reinterpret the lost panorama of Franz Roubaud. Painting, sculpture, and installations transform the battle scene into a conversation about memory, myth, and a modern view of the history of the Caucasus. Only three fragments remain from Franz Roubaud's painting "Storming of the Aul Akhulgo." The panorama was shown at the Nizhny Novgorod Art and Industrial Exhibition in 1896, bringing the artist fame. Now, the starting point is sketches and drawings from the 1880s: they open the exhibition and create a distance between historical evidence and today's interpretation. 20 young authors created paintings, decorative applied works, sculptures, and installations for the project. They are interested in how the image of Akhulgo is preserved, disappears, and changes in collective memory. The history of the Caucasus unfolds through personal associations, local mythology, and reflections on heroism. Shamil Akhmedov addresses the very idea of loss. His "Akhulgin Torso" resembles an ancient statue, of which only a part remains: the complete image of the warrior can no longer be restored. Khalima Saidudinova chooses a different approach - a magical apple rolls across a plate and paints a peaceful landscape of the mountain aul, as if offering a different scenario to the past. Where to go in Moscow today, KUDAGO will tell.
