antiwarcoalition.art

antiwarcoalition.art began its work in 2022 as a cultural and political response to the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, which also implicated Belarus as a platform for military aggression. Born in the context of war, repression, and displacement, the initiative emerged as an urgent call for solidarity, using art as a space of resistance, reflection, and transnational connection.

Over the course of three years, antiwarcoalition.art evolved into a growing transnational network that brought together artists, researchers, and cultural practitioners committed to confronting war, authoritarianism, and systemic violence. Through its online platform, discursive projects, exhibitions, and representational work, the coalition developed a distinctive voice and presence at the intersection of art and activism.

In 2025, the initiative established Stichting antiwarcoalition.art as a non-profit foundation. This legal status enables the platform to expand its activities and deepen its impact—building a global network of artists committed to creative resistance. It builds upon the experiences and practices of the past three years, strengthening our commitment to creating spaces for artistic experimentation, critical dialogue, and collective action.
