Drawing on personal archives, fragmented memories, and imagery circulated in the media, Vsevolod Seva Kovalevskij reveals the gap between the real experience of queer people, institutional memory, and mediated truth. Queer existence is inseparable from the city's public spaces—where visibility can mean both community and danger.
A monumental drawing-comic leads through the streets of Vilnius, London, and Oslo. The first Lithuanian Baltic Pride march in 2010, confrontations within the LGBTQIA+ community at London Pride in 2018, the shootings in Oslo in 2022—these events, personally experienced by the artist, are woven into a graphic story about life in conditions of constant, shifting insecurity. The declarative posters, silent politicians, and the artist's 'off-screen' voice captured in the drawing bring back what usually remains outside the official narrative.
