The interdisciplinary project offers a look at the thaw era through the eyes of those born significantly later. Through personal stories, visual images, and texts, it explores the strange feeling of nostalgia for a time in which the authors of these materials never lived. The authors of the project invite us to see the second half of the 1950s and 1960s as a living everyday reality. A young generation reaches back to this time: rewatching films from that era, rereading poems, flipping through samizdat, and studying graphics, trying to capture the intonation of freedom and intimate conversation. At the center of attention is a feeling described by the word "anemoia." Simply put, it is a quiet longing for someone else's youth. The exhibition gathers images and motifs that particularly capture the imagination: first creative experiences, conversations until dawn, the confidence that personal choice can indeed change something. Curators Ksenia Bendina and Maria Romanenkova listen to how the thaw is talked about today. They analyze personal stories, essays, and social media posts, highlighting themes that continue to resonate: the need for honesty, a tender attitude towards friendship, the excitement of collaborative creativity. Thus, a space of "new sincerity" emerges, where one can articulate their fears and hopes aloud, comparing them with the experiences of the sixties generation and trying on the found scenarios of growing up from the past.
