MAGAZINE (NOT) FOR KIDS
(RUSSIA)
Magazine (Not) for Kids is a hybrid/a pantomime journal/a fast zine created by Anastasya Kizilova and designer Ksenia Belaya together with local residents and Art Prospect guests. The project took the form of workshops for children and their parents, brothers, sisters, grandmas, grandpas, neighbors, and friends.

Anastasya Kizilova is an artist whose approach involves creating a space for research that is open to interaction and dialogue. In her projects, Kizilova strives to initiate processes with no endpoint, to begin conversations capable of surviving without her, and to explore the limits of both the art community and humanity itself (for example, through a reading group in which plants participate).
