Vocal-instrumental ensemble Krasny Hogweed.

It was founded by a group of like-minded people from different cities of Belarus who visited "Queer art workshops" from the MAKEOUT project. The project was created as a space for non-institutional art by representatives of vulnerable groups (LGBTQ+, women) who explore collectivity, sexuality, gender, identity through art and art practices (bodily and art therapy practices).

Also, the main direction of the group is performance, happening, participatory art.

Now the team is creating local communities in Belarus, where, with the help of art practices, the participants create their own projects, and then exist as independent groups. Over the past two years, the team has held more than 5 long workshops in the format of an art therapy group, as well as several closed art residences. She also produces a podcast about queer art and culture in Belarus, human rights and the work of "DK Borshchevik".

The main team includes: Yulia Mazhey, Artur Komarovsky, Janis Saar, Yana Soroka. Initially, there were more participants in the line-up, including Yanya Zaichenko, Anya Lanets, Natasha Goncharik and others. The group exists on the principles of horizontality and consensus. The team worked in collaboration with the projects DOTYK (Minsk), TOK (Tolyatti). The participants live and work in Belarus and Poland.
