Artists Against the Kremlin is more than just a book: it is a way of documenting
resistance and making it visible. The book is part of a broader cultural project: every year, the Amsterdam-based art centre
De Balie hosts an exhibition of the same name, bringing together artists for whom art becomes a form of expression against
war, censorship and violence. Published in the wake of the exhibition, the book serves as both its continuation and an archive,
preserving the artworks and the contexts in which they were created.
Prometheus is an international cultural
project that has been supporting Russian-speaking protest artists and promoting the development of uncensored art since 2023.
Prometheus has organised more than 30 exhibitions around the world, from Lisbon to Tokyo, and built the largest collection
of political art, comprising over 600 original works by more than 300 Russian-speaking artists — both those living in exile
and those who remain in Russia.
Vladimir Shalamov is an independent curator, cultural producer
and founder of Prometheus, a cultural initiative working at the intersection of contemporary art and civil society. His work
focuses on critical and protest art, artistic resistance to authoritarianism, the preservation of cultural memory, and the
support of artists whose practices engage with political expression and human rights.
Shalamov was born in Russia.
He has lived and worked in Moscow, Paris, Tbilisi and Berlin. In 2022, following the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine,
Shalamov left Russia. Since 2023, he has been developing Prometheus, an international platform for Russian-speaking artists
who oppose war, political repression and authoritarianism.
