'Vulnerability Map' is the V International Inclusive Festival

The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts connects Moscow, Vladikavkaz, Ekaterinburg, Kaliningrad, Saint Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, and Tomsk

The V International Inclusive Festival will take place at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts from November 15 to 28, 2021, in a hybrid (online/offline) format. It will also take on the form of a zine, which will include documentation of projects that give new meaning to otherness, inclusion, and diversity and have been implemented in various years at the Pushkin Museum and some branches of the National Center for Contemporary Art (NCCA).

Curators Evgeniya Kiseleva and Egor Rogalev: 'Acceptance of our own vulnerability is primarily related to a renunciation of faith in the single individual and a recognition of our universal interdependence. In these conditions, inclusion can be thought of as a complex process of creating a cultural environment without excluded individuals, where any life experience and distinctive traits can enrich and transform each other, where progress is impossible without a diversity of bodies, perception methods, approaches, types of experience, and ways of identification'.

During the last pandemic year, the Pushkin Museum merged with the National Center for Contemporary Art. Thus, the fifth anniversary festival is presented not only as an attempt at an existentialist mapping of a new situation, but also in a certain sense it introduces the new institutional body and examines new types of closeness/kinship/neighbor relationships through cooperation and the creation of a common map.

The festival program includes activities in all departments of the Pushkin Museum–NCCA in Saint Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Kaliningrad, Tomsk, and Vladikavkaz. The program will bring together international and Russian professionals who will share opinions, trends, and work practices with new culture audiences, using new narratives and communication tools.

A special part of the program of the International Inclusive Festival was organized with the support of the Embassy of the Republic of Italy in Russia. It includes a presentation by experts from the Uffizi Gallery and Palazzo Strozzi (Florence), and the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan.

The program will also feature museum leaders and professionals from the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, the Berlin State Museums, the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts in Taichung, the Sprengel Museum in Hannover, and others. Simultaneous German-to-Russian interpretation of the activities has been provided with the support of the Austrian Cultural Forum.

The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts would like to thank the 'Absolute-Help' Charitable Foundation, the 'Svet' Foundation, and the chairman of the foundation's general meeting, Alexander Svetakov, for help with the 'Accessible Museum' program. The organizers express appreciation to the Italian Embassy in Russia and the Austrian Cultural Forum.

  - "A museum is a place for experimentation with new connections"
    Harald Seemann
  - The processes that have taken place in art museums in the second half of the 20th and early 21th centuries have led to an incredible expansion in the audience interest in art, a polyphonic, participatory, and multiple readings of the art message. Under these conditions, what happens to the conventional museum label? Why are some exhibitions not signed with the names of authors and works of art at all? Who makes fun of memes about art history expletives? And what does the public think about all of this? We discuss these and other questions with exhibition authors, museums, and independent curators.

  - Venue: Italian courtyard, Main building (Volkhonka, 12)
  - Diversity, inclusion, human rights, sustainability, social responsibility - these words, formerly seen in texts about the mission of the world's global institutions, are now increasingly seen in descriptions of projects for visitors to art museums. This set of values is denoted in Russian by the familiar word "sustainability" in the new meaning of "institutional change with an awareness of responsibility and consequences". How is "sustainability" understood by the leaders of cultural and art institutions in Russia and abroad? What changes does this promise for museum institutions in the near and distant future? What does this have to do with women's rights and inclusion? The discussion will take place within the framework of the V International Inclusion Festival of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts and the interdisciplinary program for Xenia Hausner's solo exhibition at the Gallery of European and American Art of the 19th and 20th Centuries.
