Belarusian street artist combines newest trends and Belarusian history.
A graffiti painter is hidden under the pseudonym Dream. He also hides his face: graffiti may be equated to vandalism in Belarus, even if they fit the context, both special and temporal.
Dream’s works were seen by thousands. Stencils of Barbara Radzivil, Ihnat Damiejka, Vitaut, the verses of classical Belarusian poetry — it was all Dream
“I’ve got an idea to put portraits of prominent Belarusians on the walls in the streets named after them. But these portraits are just painted out. I think it’s silly. They are our people. And furthermore, they decorate the environment.”
“I saw the stencils of samurais and I thought that making such things, but with our heroes. There were great historical events in Belarus, but our people don’t respect their past,” noticed Dream in an interview for KYKY.ORG.
One of the latest Dream’s works is the series ‘Belarusian Heroes’ that mocks at state-funded pop industry. The Shepard Fairey-style stickers — with Belarusian ‘stars’ and their phrases which sound weird out and different drag out of context — may be found all around Minsk.
Now Dream is busy realizing his next project: he wants to bring Belarusian national ornaments to the streets.
