Subject: Solovki exhibition
Dear all,
Andrea Gullotta has written to me that the virtual exhibition “Beauty in
Hell: Culture in the Gulag” is now on line:
gla.ac.uk/beautyinhell
"The exhibition is devoted to the Solovki prison camp and the cultural
resistance of its inmates. It is the result of a collaborative effort with
The Hunterian Museum and Russian partners (mainly Memorial, but also state
institutions such as the Museum of the History of the Gulag). The exhibition
displays unpublished documents from Russian archives, and includes
prisoners’ paintings, theatre photographs, a selection of literary texts
composed by the prisoners (with audio recordings in Russian and English) and
some historical documents such as the personal file of Naftalii Frenkel’,
the camp’s guide prepared by the prisoner Vladimir Zotov for his fiancée and
the photo album created by camp administration as a gift for Gor’kii, Stalin
and Kirov."
All the best, Robert
