Biography
A collective of polemics and intimacies devoted to Eurasia, Slavs and Tatars’ work spans several media, disciplines and a broad spectrum of (high and low) cultural registers that focus on an oft-forgotten sphere of influence between Slavs, Caucasians and Central Asians. Based between Moscow and Brussels, the collective excavates stories and legacies, which are at risk of being forgotten and trodden under the guise of progress-cum-westernisation.
Slavs and Tatars have published Kidnapping Mountains, Book Works(2009), Love Me, Love Me Not: Changed Names , Onestar Press(2010) and Molla Nasreddin: The Magazine That Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve, JRP/Ringier (2011).
