Description
Additional Info.

Ovoo: Evocations” is an immersive exhibition that offers visitors a captivating journey into the heart of Buryat-Mongol culture through the lens of photographer Margarita Galandina.

Unveil the unyielding spirit of the Buryat-Mongol people through Margarita Galandina's debut solo show - "Ovoo: Evocations".

Using the traditional Buryat-Mongol custom of installing Ovoo Poles as monuments to represent the sacredness of the land, Margarita's artwork expresses her deep connection to her ancestral home in Southeast Siberia.

This exhibition showcases photographs, a soundscape, a short film, and oral histories, all highlighting the rich heritage and resilient nature of the Buryat-Mongol people. Margarita's art is a tribute to the vanishing traditions and landscapes of Buryatia and Northern Mongolia as she visits ancestral sites to capture the essence of Indigenous Siberia. Her artwork invites you to connect with the disappearing world of the Buryat-Mongol people.

Margarita Galandina, a Siberian-born artist based in London, studied academic drawing and painting in Siberia and the Russian Ballet Academy. In 2022, she completed her BA in Fashion Communication and Promotion at Central Saint Martins and an MA in Photography at the London College of Communication.

This project is supported by the Mead Fellowship, operated by UAL: Careers and Employability.
