At the core of Masha Maroz\u2019s artistic and research practice lies an exploration of mythology, rituals, and collective identity as enduring cultural constants. She draws connections between quantum physics, Eastern philosophy, and pre-Christian Slavic cosmologies, revealing latent affinities between scientific, spiritual, and cultural systems of knowledge. <\/p>\n

Working within both the historical and contemporary context of Belarus, her work investigates the transformative potential of traditional culture in the dominant socio-political matrix. Her interdisciplinary approach spans installation, video, textiles, photography, analog and digital graphics, and sculptural objects, forming a material vocabulary through which intangible knowledge is made tangible and experiential. <\/p>\n

Through Past Perfect<\/a><\/em>, a research and education platform she founded and curates, Masha Maroz initiates projects dedicated to preserving and making visible Belarusian ethnographic heritage. The platform translates traditions into accessible forms \u2013 through exhibitions, publications, and artistic interventions \u2014 making visible a cultural memory increasingly marginalized and systematically suppressed under the current circumstances. <\/p>\n

In Long Way Home<\/em>, she turns her attention to the ethnosemiotics of the Polesie region in southern Belarus, exploring how local rituals, symbols, and practices generate meaning and circulate across communities. Through fieldwork, textile practices, and archival research, she reinterprets these traditions, transforming them into contemporary artistic forms that bridge memory, materiality, and lived experience. <\/p>\n

Masha Maroz\u2019s residency is funded by the Fellowship Program Weltoffenes Berlin of the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categories":[],"class_list":["post-49722","kb_artist","type-kb_artist","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"article_image":49719,"article_image_bu_de":"Masha Maroz, The Thirst: Accumulation of Desire, audio-visual installation, 2022, Detail, Foto: Jura Shust","article_image_bu_en":"Masha Maroz, The Thirst: Accumulation of Desire, audio-visual installation, 2022, fragment, photo: Jura Shust","datum_suche":"2026-03-01 00:00:00"},"yoast_head":"\nMasha Maroz - Bethanien<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/bethanien.de\/en\/artists\/masha-maroz\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Masha Maroz - Bethanien\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"At the core of Masha Maroz\u2019s artistic and research practice lies an exploration of mythology, rituals, and collective identity as enduring cultural constants.
