An exhibition of works by Belarusian artists entitled“Art Against Dictatorship” opened in Washington., D.C. on February 16,2009

According to Pavel Marozau, coordinator of the association “The Third Way”, this exhibition is a joint project of a number of Belarusian foreign initiatives. The exhibition of 30 works of Belarusian artists and sculptors was designed as a portable display, that has been demonstrated in the Parliament of Estonia and will be shown in the United States, Canada, and Scandinavian countries. It is organized by The Third Way, the Belarusian Youth Movement of America, and the Belarusian Museum in New York. The exhibition was made possible thanks to the support by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), German Marshall Fund of the United States, Estonian NGO Valgevene Uus Tee, and the Free Estonia Foundation.

The opening discussion focused on policies of the EU and the US towards Belarus. The participants included Belarusian artists Ales Shaternik and Alyaksei Marachkin, Pavel Marozau, human rights activists Iryna Krasouskaya and Protska, Bishop Sviataslau of the Belarusian Autocephalic Orthodox Church, and the first US ambassador to Belarus David Swartz.
