Workers of the World, Unite!

Exhibition: Places that Aren’t, Božidarac National Gallery, Belgrade, Serbia, 2025
“The victory of communism over the entire world is inevitable. The world will be free of exploitation and oppression, the era of peace and prosperity will dawn.” - Joseph Stalin, Speech at the 19th Party Congress (1952)
As the people crashed through the walls of the Winter Palace, and “people’s armies” began hunting down autocrats far and wide, a new dawn had been unleashed upon the world - one where the rights of the workers and the will of the proletariat would ring across the halls of governance. But were the people truly united in one grand act of solidarity, or were they simply abused as cogs in the machine of plans that had nothing to do with their best interests? And is that same all-consuming neo-religion rearing its head again? - Moshe Shamah
Artist’s Recommendation: I highly recommend that the patron who is considering this piece, also purchase the piece, Red, White & Blue: The Land of Opportunity, as they belong hanging next to each other for thematic and aesthetic coherence in your space
