On February 13 at 15:00, the G. Aitiev Museum of Fine Arts will host the opening of an exhibition by Zlata Beard titled "To Be.../Being." According to the museum, the exhibition will be dedicated to exploring familiar social roles and their impact on a person's self-perception. The opening date, February 13, symbolizes cultural settings and the process of meaning-making in society.
In her works, the artist demonstrates how family, gender, and social frameworks influence emotional states and self-perception, while also emphasizing the importance of rethinking these notions over time.
The exhibition is organized as a route, where painting serves as a means to observe changes: from the rejection of certain identities to the acceptance of others, leading to the realization of the value of simply "being" instead of striving to "become someone."
