An audio guide to the 'Mother Tongue’ exhibition by Yevgeniy Fiks.Borimir Totev follows New York-based Russian artist Yevgeniy Fiks, as he explores the historical gay Russian argot. This coded language dates back to Soviet times. We reclaim and celebrate Soviet-era Russian gay argot as a unique cultural phenomenon and give a historical context to today’s post-Soviet LGBT+ community, whose language partially evolved from it.This podcast episode was edited and produced for Pushkin House by Borimir Totev.
