Join us for a special evening on Nov. 19, 2025 celebrating Azazello (Anatoly Kalabin), whose remarkable archive was bequeathed to the Wende Museum in 2016.
Emerging from the depths of the Soviet underground, this archive offers a rare glimpse into a hidden world of hippies, nonconformist artists, and other self-declared misfits who sought freedom, beauty, and meaning under repression.
The program marks the launch of the digital Azazello Archive and features a conversation with Sasha Razor and curatorial team members Anna Fishzon, Juliane Fürst, and Margarit Ordukhanyan, exploring the life and legacy of Azazello and what it meant to be a nonconformist in an authoritarian space.
The evening will include readings of Azazello’s poetry and a selection of his favorite music, along with Soviet-inspired snacks and drinks.
Program to begin at 6 pm.
