Defining an area 'east of the former Berlin Wall and west of the Great Wall of China' as their remit, Slavs and Tatars repeatedly creolise, craft and collide a political and imagined geography to topple our brittle notions of identity, language and beliefs. Throughout their 10 year practice, the artist collective has turned to Turkic language politics, medieval advice literature, the relationship between Iran and Poland and transliteration, to name but a few of their areas of research.
