On December 14, Antonina Fatkhullina's intimate project "Life on Ata Island" opened at DiDi Gallery.
The exhibition's title refers to the story of six teenagers stranded on a desert island in 1966. Contrary to popular cultural narratives about social deviation, aggression, and degradation—which appear in any community as condemned but socially reinforcing phenomena—the teenagers on Ata Island build a commune, establish equal labor, and seemingly offer hope that man is not a wolf to man.
