The back and front stages spaces of protest.
Preserving Protest
By Lindsay Harkema
Preserving Protest is a study on the relationship between social opposition and urban space. Surveying the history of protest in the complex recent history of Russia, this project challenges the idea that the effectiveness of a protest movement is directly correlated with the scale of its action. Instead, history has shown that smaller countercultural spheres are the drivers of effective change. The Russian Avant Garde originated in these spheres, and the disregard for preserving the physical artifacts of this movement (example: Shukhov Tower, currently facing demolition) is symbolic of the loss of an effective scale of protest, and the uncertain future for the spaces which have historical catalyzed political and social change.
A prediction
is a statement about the future. A protest is a statement of objection about a
perceived future. Protest and prediction exist in a dialect similar to that of
modernization and preservation, each has a tenuous relationship with the past
and future. Throughout history, forms of protest have been significant agents
of social and political change, from underground countercultural movements to
mass public demonstrations. These movements push societal progress and leave
historical imprints on the city.
My
research centered on Moscow, a city with a unique past and current history of
protest. I analyzed forms of opposition and counterculture not by their
political ideologies, but the character of the spaces which they inhabit. In
Moscow, highly ideological eras produced some of the most significant
innovation in art, architecture, literature and science of the 20th century.
The Avant-Garde was born at the height of Russian revolutionary fervor.
Motivations of protest, be it a rejection of past or future, were incredible
stimulus and inspiration for critical innovation which shaped the nation's
future.
When
we think of protest, we tend to think of massive crowds in demonstration
against a political entity. What is less obvious is that these public
manifestations of opposition are actually fueled by a deeper, private creative
movements. It is the countercultural undercurrent of opposition which has a
broader, and more significant impact on society and its progress. Often the
private sphere is strengthened by restrictions against the public sphere.
However, in an increasingly public society, the essential backstage social
spaces of counterculture and productive dissent are missing.
A new
protest model and a new space of counterculture is introduced in the city as a
method of physical and social preservation. By occupying the now abandoned
spaces of Moscow's Avant Garde buildings, this new typology of urban space will
be a catalyst for future protest movements, achieving maximum effect without
maximum number of people assembling in crowds. Instead of centralized and
confined to a singular event in at one place and time, this model will be
distributed throughout the city. Furthermore, it will restore and preserve
Moscow's physical and countercultural heritage.
This project was developed as part of the “Foresight in Hindsight” studio led by Reinier De Graaf at the Strelka Institute for Media, Architecture and Design in Moscow, 2013.

Great article! Totally agree that diet and digestion are key. I’ve been using a probiotic called pawbiotix, and it’s been a game changer for my dog’s digestion and energy.

From the initial consultation to the final cleanup, Go To Guy ATL operated with integrity and efficiency. They installed a complex new ventilation system in our laundry room, which required cutting into the exterior wall. The work was clean, precise, and passed inspection without any issues. They handle complex technical jobs with confidence. Go to Guy Deck Buildersbushrabatool · Oct 17, 25 8:14 am

I recently enjoyed the most tranquil deep-tissue massage here. The therapist expertly targeted all my tension points, leaving me feeling completely renewed. The soothing ambiance, from the gentle music to the aromatherapy scents, made the whole experience deeply restorative. It’s clear that Goodwill Spa prioritizes genuine client wellness and relaxation.
