Welcome to «Places of Transition», an exhibition that explores the profound changes experienced in six countries of the former so-called Eastern block: Bulgaria, Croatia, East Germany, Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine. These nations have undergone significant transformations that have not only altered their political and economic landscapes but have also deeply impacted the daily lives of their people. 

Transition is both a global and local phenomenon, and this exhibition seeks to reconnect the threads that link these places and their stories. By showcasing typical locations from the Soviet time, we aim to highlight how these areas have evolved or, in some cases, been abandoned.


«Places of Transition» features six unique places. This allows us to illustrate the diverse ways society has navigated the transition process. You’ll discover how new generations have reappropriated some places, while others remain poignant reminders of the past.

Through this exhibition, we invite you to explore the evolving identities of these places and the people connected to them. Each piece we present is a step towards understanding the complex tapestry of change, memory, and identity that defines these regions. We hope you find this journey through transition as fascinating and enlightening as we have.
