The Belarusian photographer Siarhiej Lieskiec’s subject matter, AGRO, caught my attention. The artist works with young people whom the government entices to go back to the countryside as part of the program “Rural Renaissance.” They are offered a free house in one of the tiny villages within the abandoned sovkhozes. Siarhiej Lieskiec clarified that “on the one hand, they’re given a leg-up into adult life and are able to avoid taking out a mortgage and going into debt or languishing on a waiting list while living with their parents. On the other hand, the city youth who move to the country find themselves in the same comfort zone as their parents without even realizing it, and are limited in their choices for the future.”

Rural Renaissance
Siarhiej Lieskiec’s project AGRO is a visual study of the contemporary identity of his native Belarus that is both anthropological and deeply personal. Most photographers capturing today’s Belarus focus on its lingering Soviet heritage and its infamous reputation as Europe’s last dictatorship. Lieskiec’s approach is different: he is interested in the contemporary, in the generation which grew up in the last 20 years in a completely new setting. The main subject of his research are the agro-towns created through the Rural Development Program, intended to revive the Belarusian countryside and restore the economy of the collective farms.
