STUDENT ACCOLADES Liliya Kvatsabaya participated in a roundtable on Art for Freedom at the World Liberty Congress in Vilnius, Lithuania on November 8. Kvatsabaya was invited to share her experience, as an artist, of standing up against authoritarianism in her native country, Belarus. Kvatsabaya has been creating art that protests the brutality of Aleksandr Lukashenko’s authoritarian regime since 2020, and 2021, she was one of the first artists to participate in the Human Rights Foundation’s Art in Protest Residency at the cultural incubator Gray Area in San Francisco. [3] Liliya realized that protesting the regime was more important than simply creating logos in her graphic design courses. She began using her artistic skills to contribute to the pro-democracy movement and spread awareness about the urgent situation in Belarus. Her early pieces celebrated the brave protesters who took to the streets day after day. They also exposed Lukashenko’s weaknesses — such as the regime’s reliance on violence to subvert dissent, its corrupt judicial system, and its financial and political dependence on Vladimir Putin.
