In just one month the "NOT DARK" festival will take place in Uralmash Summer Park.

      On February 14–15, 2026, 32 light installations by more than 40 artists will light up Uralmash Summer Park: Samarkand (Uzbekistan), Yekaterinburg, Moscow, Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk, Perm, Chelyabinsk, Sergiev Posad — all together creating a space where the personal and the collective flow into one another through light.

      The theme of the festival, “My Personal Common Home,” is a conversation about the borders we draw and erase: in architecture, memories, traditions, in moves and everyday rituals. Light becomes the language used to speak about what unites us when things around are especially hard.

      “We are completely stunned by how much that is alive, sharp, and honest has come through this year,” says festival curator Evgenia Nikitina, president of the Cultural Transit Foundation. “Tenderness alongside audacity, traditions alongside today’s cracks — and it’s all told through light. It’s especially moving when people who have never called themselves artists suddenly show something that gives you goosebumps.”
