Birth of Light is running at Kazan Kremlin in Kazan from 16 September to 25 October 2026. The exhibition, held at the Museum of the History of Annunciation Cathedral within the ????????? ?????? complex, presents black-and-white graphics by the Tatarstan artist Vera Karasyova.
Birth of Light runs at Kazan Kremlin until 25 October
The exhibition opened on 16 September 2026 and remains available through 25 October 2026. The official museum page describes a display of 17 works made using etching and linocut, placing the exhibition inside one of the principal museum sites of the Kremlin reserve.
The project is arranged in four series. “Witnesses” uses linocuts depicting churches in small villages of Tatarstan. “Old Kazan” consists of etchings focused on details and quieter views of the city, while “My Sviyazhsk” presents the artist’s personal response to the historic town. The fourth series, “Historic Cities of Tatarstan”, brings together panoramas of places across the republic. The official exhibition listing gives the dates, venue and programme details.
Four series connect the exhibition with Kazan’s heritage
Birth of Light is not presented as a general survey of Russian graphic art. Its four sections link the venue in Kazan with religious buildings, historic settlements and urban memory across Tatarstan. That regional focus places the display within the wider cultural setting of the Kremlin reserve rather than treating the museum as a neutral gallery.
The venue is the Museum of the History of Annunciation Cathedral. The exhibition’s rural church imagery therefore sits alongside a museum devoted to the history of a cathedral inside the Kremlin grounds. An regional report on the opening also identifies the exhibition as Karasyova’s black-and-white graphic work and confirms its closing date of 25 October 2026.
