Museum of Moscow to Host Graduation Festival by HSE Art and Design School

From June 20 to 27, the Museum of Moscow and the HSE Art and Design School will hold the HSE ART AND DESIGN Festival 2019, a graduation show. The project authors and curators for the event are HSE Art and Design School students, graduates and lecturers.

The aim of the collaboration between the Museum of Moscow and HSE Art and Design School is twofold: to bring together some of the students’ works from 2019 in a museum exhibition and to put on a real festival for the city. The HSE ART AND DESIGN Festival programme features exhibition projects, art objects, animation and video art demonstration, a fashion show, as well as theatre and sound performances.

‘The Museum of Moscow tells a story of the city as a constantly changing live space, where residents are its defining part. And we’ll be happy to welcome young artists, who use contemporary art and design to speak about themselves, our capital and its inhabitants. It is also important for the Museum of Moscow to support creative projects, which outline the future of our city’s cultural landscape.’ — Alina Saprykina, Director of the Museum of Moscow.
