> The Chisinau City History Museum is hosting the opening of the
> exhibition—marking the start of the art-documentary project “Wind of
> Change.” The exhibition reflects the transformations that took place in the
> Moldovan art community during the period of political regime change,
> shifting borders, and social restructuring in the 1980s-1990s. The “Wind of
> Change” exhibition is dedicated to reinterpreting the Soviet past, artistic
> explorations, and the questions of freedom and identity that arose amidst
> the instability of that era. The project showcases how Moldovan artists
> responded to the collapse of the Soviet, monolithic, centralized political
> system, and how this event influenced their work. The project is based on
> direct dialogue with artists and other witnesses of historical changes,
> memories, and personal archives of artists who found themselves at the
> epicenter of a time when familiar frameworks were crumbling, and new
> horizons were just beginning to form. The exhibition also includes works by
> some of the authors participating in the project.
>
> Thus, the “Wind of Change” exhibition creates new opportunities for
> understanding the historical events of the 1980s-1990s, woven with
> contradictions. It highlights various aspects of this period and their
> influence on contemporary Moldovan art. In particular, the project
> emphasizes the important relationships in the art community, such as
> friendships, support, and empathy, which facilitated not only the exchange
> of ideas but also the formation of collective experiences, and sometimes
> the creation of joint artistic works. The exhibition space is presented as
> an installation—a book unfolded, a “reading room” that connects the past
> and the present, becoming a platform for interaction among artists of
> different generations.
>
> The main goal of the exhibition and the volume of documentary prose (which
> will be published as a result of the project) is to create a collective
> voice that helps us better understand the past and the challenges we face
> today in the context of new transformations. “Wind of Change” seeks to
> convey the personal experiences of artists—witnesses of that era—their
> emotions, thoughts, and feelings, while also illuminating the complex
> processes taking place in society and culture.
>
> The project highlights the importance of dialogue between artists and
> society, creating a context in which art becomes a means of recognizing
> changes. The exhibition serves as a platform where visitors can not only
> observe but actively participate in the process, enriching the archival
> material with new artifacts from that time.
> The “Exhibition of Change” opens access for the younger generation of
> artists to the presented materials, inspiring them to create new works and
> encouraging reflection on the past. It is hoped that this event will become
> a catalyst for dialogue, helping artists from different generations
> interact and share their visions.
>
> Moldovan artists living today in various corners of the world—in Moldova,
> Romania, Germany, the USA, Hungary, Russia, and Canada—are participating in
> this project, creating a unique opportunity to explore their creative and
> life experiences, as well as the era of their shared youth.
>
> In addition to the exhibition and the volume of documentary prose, “Wind
> of Change” includes a series of supplementary events, including creative
> meetings with artists, as well as performances of updated versions of
> street performances from that period.

>
> Artist Tatiana Fiodorova-Lefter, the author of this project, acts as a
> connecting link for all participants, creating a space for discussions and
> interaction. Over the past 15 years, her work has focused on exploring the
> Soviet period and the socio-cultural phenomena of that era. She pays
> special attention to the legacy of her father, the unknown Soviet artist
> Vasili Lefter (1943-1982). In 2014, based on the family archive, Tatiana
> created the book “In Search of the Social Body of the Soviet Artist,” which
> will also be presented at the exhibition. The connection with her father’s
> legacy not only deepens the artist’s own creativity but also became the
> main impulse for creating this expansive narrative, a new shared space for
> forming collective memory about hopes, disappointments, tireless search,
> and the desire to expand the boundaries of creative freedom.
