Pushkin House

Pushkin House is an arts, cultural and social space that explores, challenges and debates Russian 
culture and identity today.   

In dialogue with other regions, we focus on the contested legacies, tumultuous present and possible 
futures of Russian, Eastern European, and post-Soviet geocultural spaces. Our public programming, 
exhibitions and community engagement – across history, literature, and the visual and performing arts – 
share connections among individuals, disciplines, periods and cultures and engage themes of identity, 
citizenship, migration, displacement and belonging. We strive to be an open space for initiating critical 
enquiries and relationship-building. Discourse is an annual programme of interdisciplinary events 
focusing on contemporaneity, cultural history, and art.
