Beyond the post-soviet (Btps) emerged in 2021 as a non-hierarchical collective that produces and disseminates knowledges about geographic and cultural regions formerly referred to as the ‘post-soviet space’ and ‘post-socialist countries’. In its research and activities, the group draws on various forms of knowledge: theoretical knowledge, works of art and fiction, individual and collective stories, memories, and emotions. It brings together artists, researchers, thinkers, and curators based in and working across diverse contexts. With a desire to move beyond established perspectives on these regions, Btps aims to link various (post-)colonial experiences, decolonial discourses and approaches.
