Dr. Tavia La Follette, Director and Curator of the Sites of Passage projects has been visiting Russia over the past few years and refining her ideas around the next exchange. This newsletter is a prelude of images that follow the path of that research, the people she met and reflections along the way.
She began her journey with the help of the Center for International Development (CITD)and an invitation from the director, Philip Arnoult, to attend The Golden Mask Festival (http://eng.goldenmask.ru ). With Russian theater director, Yury Urnov as a guide to Moscow and The Golden Mask Festival it is hard not to feel at home. From the bowels of the Moscow Metro to the Kremlin, from the theatre seats to the gates of Red Square, Urnov translated, educated and gave context to sites we saw—and the people inhabiting them.
