Popakademie Talks
The Popakademie opens the series with the popular Belarusian indie pop band NaviBand, who took part in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2017. Known for their gripping songs and tireless commitment to political freedom, the musicians are among the ultimate romantic voices of the Belarusian music scene. After being expelled from their home country for their support of the political protests in 2020 following the contested presidential election, they are now touring Europe. With their concerts in Poland, the Czech Republic, Germany and other countries, they are sending a powerful message to the victims of the war in Ukraine and the brutal repression of protesters in Belarus.
