Title A name given to the resource Embroidery Practices Description An account of the resource Pcholka's embroidery project Maiden Names' (2018) was exhibited at the Krylia kholopa [Wings of a Serf] gallery in Brest as a part of the collective exhibition Mother Matter. It aims to restore the names of women, often several generations living under one roof, but under different surnames. By embroidering women’s maiden names on their archival images, the artist reestablishes the lost genealogies. Maiden Names became the starting point for a series of workshops that Pcholka conducted online and offline under the title Embroidery Practices. This workshop was directed against the patriarchal system that coincided with mass protests led by women in Belarus.

Title A name given to the resource For the Darkness of the Night my Eyes are Bright Description An account of the resource Kupalki, embroidered kerchiefs from Nasta Vasiuchenka, are literally song-kerchiefs, a unique artistic fusion of dress and music folklore carried out in a minimalist key. Embroidered statements on kerchiefs appeared at the turn of the 20th century, as a result of the development of literacy and education among peasants. The embroidered inscription features a line from a traditional Belarusian folk song: “For the darkness of the night, my eyes are bright.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Nasta Vasiuchenka Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://www.behance.net/gallery/123670761/240421-VS-300421 Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2021 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Nasta Vasiuchenka Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Embroidered kerchief Type The nature or genre of the resource Embroidery https://apps.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/files/original/f02c6df04d4de7738ff6e1b95458fc4d.jpg 93feb82fed205ec5aefbf320da93ddae Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The Ear of Rye Under Thy Sickle Description An account of the resource The Ear of Rye Under Thy Sickle is a Kanva label series featuring quotes from Uladzimir Karatkevich, the preeminent Belarusian prose writer. The Ear of Rye Under Thy Sickle [Kalasy pad siarpom tvaim] (1968) is a novel narrating the events of the January Uprising of 1863-1864. The reference to the uprising reflects Vasiuchenka's commitment to bringing Belarusian culture to the masses by echoing the contemporary situation in Belarus. The kerchief inscription on the photograph says: “Every person carries their sky with themselves.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Nasta Vasiuchenka Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://www.behance.net/gallery/109542579/kalasy-pad-sjarpom-tvam Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2021 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Nasta Vasiuchenka Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Embroidered kerchief Type The nature or genre of the resource Embroidery https://apps.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/files/original/3915e92d82e00d63ad1a6185d3df23c5.jpg e66497944f6fafb843655a3c6d871b75 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In August 2020, flowers became a symbol of the peaceful protest in Belarus, while the location of the photoshoot, Kamarousky market in Minsk, is well-known as the site of the first massive protest actions organized and led by the Women in White Telegram channel.

Title A name given to the resource Of course, this is naive Description An account of the resource The embroidered message on a synthetic ribbon — Of course, this is naive — connotes several meanings, most obviously sifted from the anthropology of Soviet-era nostalgia, as reflected in the material of ribbon used by schoolgirls in Belarus and the use of the Soviet-era rug in the background. However, starting from 2020, Belarusians have also associated ribbons with protest rituals, namely makeshift flags made out of white and red ribbons. People tie them to fences to express their discontent with the regime and support the protest, and the artist's utterance here works on multiple levels, both as a marker of her provincial identity and as a critical statement about the protest tactics.

Title A name given to the resource Horned Goat Description An account of the resource This duvet is cross-stitched with the words from a children’s tale about a goat who attacks misbehaving children. The text reads: “There is a horned goat who comes for the little ones: he butts, he butts and he butts.” Contemporary conditions in Belarus make it difficult to make political statements directly, and so craftivists carry it out allegorically, using examples from folklore.

Title A name given to the resource 2/2 Work Shifts Description An account of the resource Work Shifts 2/2 (2021) series is dedicated to labor rights and the precarity of workers in Belarus. The artist describes her embroidered synthetic doilies as an expression of humility and acceptance of the status quo, underscored by the labor-intensive process of embroidery. The inscription on the doily translates as follows: “What will remain after I am gone, how much of it will go to me. 4 roubles/$1.5 an hour. Can I help you.

Title A name given to the resource Zero Percent Description An account of the resource On Nov. 12, 2020, 31-year-old artist and teacher Raman Bandarenka was beaten and arrested in the courtyard of his home. He appeared in a hospital emergency room later that night, where he died the following day. According to official reports, Bandarenka got into a drunken brawl and was rescued by the police, who called for an ambulance. Bandarenka's emergency room doctor rejected this claim in an interview, stating his blood alcohol level was 0.0 percent. As the police arrived to arrest the doctor for divulging medical information and journalist Katsiaryba Barysevich for publishing the interview, his co-workers protested by holding up signs that read "Zero percent," which became another symbol of dissent. Artist Anna Bundeleva, wearing three medical masks, removes two of them, displaying three different ways to say “zero percent”: Zero percent, Zero %, and 0%.
