White Emigration: Immersive Lecture at Harat's Republic in Dubai

Travel back to the 1920s and explore the fate of a culture in exile at Harat's Republic in Dubai. "White Emigration: Immersive Lecture" invites you to step into the shoes of those who left Russia a century ago, settling in cities from Berlin and Paris to Prague and Harbin. These émigrés built new communities, created newspapers and publishing houses, and constantly questioned who they were and where they belonged.

Led by Andrey, this interactive session goes beyond a traditional talk. Over the course of an hour, the audience is not just listening—they are shaping the story. Participants are challenged to make the same tough choices that confronted the exiles: which cultural projects to support, what issues to debate, and how to define home and identity. Each decision alters the narrative, making every event unique.

The lecture blends discussion and active participation, focusing on themes like memory, language, and the lasting impact of migration. It is designed for anyone curious about history, culture, or the complexities of living far from one’s birthplace. Harat's Republic provides a casual yet thought-provoking setting in Dubai, drawing together people eager to reflect on the past and its echoes in the present.

This event offers a chance to connect with the dilemmas and creativity of a generation that had to redefine itself—an experience that continues to resonate with many today.
