Preston Theater How does art survive in a time of oppression? Join us for a film screening of The Desert of Forbidden Art, which aims to answer this question. During the Soviet rule artists who stayed true to their vision were executed, sent to mental hospitals or Gulags. Their plight inspires young Igor Savitsky, who daringly rescues 40,000 forbidden fellow artists’ works and creates a museum in the desert of Uzbekistan, far from the watchful eyes of the KGB. Described as "one of the most remarkable collections of 20th century Russian art" and located in one of the world's poorest regions, today these paintings are worth millions. The collection remains as endangered as when Savitsky first created it, posing the question whose responsibility it is to preserve this cultural treasure.
For the students of Russian 101, 206, 225, 417; Lit 143, 2311, 2404; Arth 101, 120, 126, 258, 270, and 353.Sponsored by: Russian and Eurasian Studies.

Preston Theater How does art survive in a time of oppression? Join us for a film screening of The Desert of Forbidden Art, which aims to answer this question. During the Soviet rule artists who stayed true to their vision were executed, sent to mental hospitals or Gulags. Their plight inspires young Igor Savitsky, who daringly rescues 40,000 forbidden fellow artists’ works and creates a museum in the desert of Uzbekistan, far from the watchful eyes of the KGB. Described as "one of the most remarkable collections of 20th century Russian art" and located in one of the world's poorest regions, today these paintings are worth millions. The collection remains as endangered as when Savitsky first created it, posing the question whose responsibility it is to preserve this cultural treasure.
For the students of Russian 101, 206, 225, 417; Lit 143, 2311, 2404; Arth 101, 120, 126, 258, 270, and 353.Sponsored by: Russian and Eurasian Studies.
