Ilya Sprindzhuk (b. 1994, Minsk, Belarus) is a multidisciplinary artist in political exile in Warsaw since 2021. His artistic practice includes painting, installation, sculpture, actionism, and focuses on phenomena of power, boundaries, and the politics of memory.
His works often operate at a large scale, interact directly with space, and incorporate processes of self-decay and transformation. Growing up in Belarus, he witnessed how history and cultural heritage were instrumentalised by the state and transformed into tools of ideological control.
This experience has become central to his artistic research, which examines how local narratives are shaped and manipulated within broader global political processes. Through material-based and site-specific practices, his work investigates how memory becomes a field of power and resistance.
