Slavs and Tatars



Slavs and Tatars is an art collective exploring the intersection of language, politics, and identity across Eurasia. Their printed works blend scholarly rigor with playful humor, often merging archival research with bold visual design. Through publications, posters, editions, merch, and ephemera, they challenge cultural assumptions and provoke dialogue across disciplines.
