Belarus—Faces of Resistance preserves the memory of the Belarusian protests of 2020 by documenting a series of transnational collaborative events which took place on Chicago’s South Side in 2019–2023. The book contains material from roundtables, exhibits, interviews, seminars, and commentaries, dedicated to the situation in Belarus before, during, and after the protests which errupted in response to the contested presidential elections in August, 2020. This collection should help the international community understand the 2020 Belarusian protests: their history, context, dynamics, global interconnectedness, as well as their aftermath and impact. The volume assembles a range of perspectives coming from the participants on the ground, expert observers, artists, cultural critics, students, politicians, and scholars of the region, reflecting on the events in a variety of forms and media.
