Yesterday, April 11th Fermata Art Foundation, we visited Chicopee, the birthplace of “Raising Waters”. Rivers and other bodies of water played a major role in the existence of the first Americans or Indians, and it was with this motivation that they named different places with names associated with water.
Rivers were a symbol of movement and love of life for the Indians, they used riverbeds to communicate with each other, it seems that Chicopee was once an important strategic place and may have been the crossroads of a great communication lane.
I arrived at the Chicopee Public Library a little early, as soon as I entered the building and I was met by friendly employees. soon we organized and presented, traditionally we started with a small prologue, performed by Nikolay Synkov. A few weeks ago, I decided to change and improve the presentation style, which turned out to be a real challenge for me, the smallness of the audience in the hall left me with an unusual feeling.
In the region of raging waters, did all the waters stand still and become swamps? Has people’s interest in academia and the arts finally died? Regardless of our presentation, the hall presented an amazing exhibition that gave the soul of the atmosphere, and the grand piano, left alone in the corner, was like a melancholy tandem of moods.
People’s interest is what keeps them alive, and now they are dying.
Society is concerned with the facts of the world, post facto, and people do not even realize that it is in art and history that the answers that frighten and surprise them are hidden.
Why did Putin kill the ideas of independence and individualism in his own country? And why did he expel millions of inhabitants from their homeland?
The answer to all these questions lies in empty museums and libraries.
