"Universal Declaration of Human Rights in vycinanka"
Initially, the collection was created in 2012 together with the Human Rights Center "Viasna".
Works were exhibited in Belarus, Poland, Lithuania.
The collection of works was lost after the Belarusian protests of 2020.
I am currently rebuilding the collection in the US.
You can see some of the restored works on this page.
Next to each of the works is a small image of the original original.
