The exhibition is called ‘Yamal Chronotope’ and is implemented as part of the GES-2: Cities programme. The project explores life in Yamal and the phenomenon of local souvenirs as a reflection of the cultural and historical processes taking place in northern Siberia.
The word ‘chronotope’ is used in the humanities to denote the connection between a geographical space and the social and cultural processes taking place in it. The defining feature of the Yamal chronotope is its discontinuity. The centres of human life are scattered here over a vast territory, and between them there are deserted spaces.
The exhibition seeks to reveal the structure of the whole in its smallest part: the logic of concrete space, historical time and global processes in the objects that most often exist apart from them.
