About the eventFilm Screening: 'Soviet Bus Stops'
Run time: 57mins

Soviet Bus Stops is an ode to the distinctive bus stops of the former Soviet Republic. During the Soviet Period, the centralisation of architecture left little to no room for individual creativity in buildings and monuments, with bus stops as an overlooked and subsequently understudied exception. Bus stops across countries including Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Estonia, Georgia, Belarus, and Lithuania vary in architectural and artistic styles, and photographer Christopher Herwig has travelled over 50,000 kilometres on a road trip to speak with some of their creators and document as many as he can.
