Typography

Description

Typography is a translocal collective that originated in southern Russia, where we were active in Krasnodar from 2012 until 24 February, 2022. We view art as a discursive and political force, grounded in local contexts and driven by self-organised practices.
Following the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine and our designation as a “foreign agent,” we were forced to shut down our space and leave Russia. Since then, we’ve continued to work non-publicly — organizing an emergency residency in Yerevan, founding the Krasnodar Institute of Contemporary Art (KICA), and launching Fantasia Community Radio.
Our return to the public sphere reflects a need to re-engage with the issues that matter to us: decolonial possibility, forced migration, state violence, and the challenges of being a collective across geographies, finding shared ground not in a single locality or venue, but in mutual intention and dispersed solidarity.
