Siarhei Chareuski is a Belarusian art historian, artist, journalist, and public figure. His biography reflects the shifts in creative and social choices made by young people in a major Belarusian city during the 1980s. Siarhei received a solid foundation in art education, graduating from the Glebov Art College in Minsk (1982–1987). While still a student, he became involved in informal youth cultural groups, such as “Maistroŭnia” (the Belarusian Singing and Drama Workshop, which ceased operations following a conflict with authorities in 1984) and “Talaka” (1985–1990). Since the early 1990s, Siarhei has been actively collaborating with independent Belarusian journalism. He created artistic compositions for the newspaper Svaaboda and, in 1991, contributed to the revival of “Nasha Niva”, a legendary symbol of national and cultural revival in the early 20th century. In the 2000s, Siarhei began teaching and is now a faculty member at the European Humanities University (Vilnius).
