Banksy Friday

Aug. 17 

Curious about all the fuss over the first solo Banksy exhibition in Russia at TsDKh (Central House of Artists)? Come see it today and then watch the latest documentary about the enigmatic British street artist. The film, entitled “The Man Who Stole Banksy,” just came out this year and tells the story of Banksy’s work in Palestine. It will be shown in English with Russian subtitles. A discussion will follow, with some of the most prominent street artists in today’s Russia: Pokras Lampas and Misha Most. Snacks will be provided.

Antoha MC

Aug. 18

Antoha MC will perform an open air concert as part of the Muzeon park summer series. Antoha MC is a one-man act, rapping and playing the trumpet, and his music can be best described as a blend of hip-hop, synth-pop and reggae. Antoha MC sounds in turns like the legendary band Kino and a reggae band from the 1980s.
