Program
BAK programming combines the artistic, experiential, theoretical, and political so as to imagine and enact transformative ways, with and through art, of being together otherwise. BAK’s current research trajectory Propositions for Non-Fascist Living (2017–ongoing) is prompted by the dramatic resurfacing and normalization of fascisms, historical and contemporary. BAK organizes exhibitions, lectures, publications, workshops, and composite performative conferences with exhibitionary, discursive, and performative elements.

To Watch Around, To Watch Outside
A public program realized in the framework of To Watch the War: The Moving Image Amidst the Invasion of Ukraine (2014–2023)
In this lecture, Bazdyrieva discusses the material implications of the sociotechnical imaginaries that contribute to the “resourcification” of Ukraine—wherein its land, natural resources, and people are viewed as an inexhaustible resource that is constitutively “outside” of European sustainability projects.
