The exhibition 'Surrounded by Criminals' in Brussels showcases the lives of the Vory v Zakone, a post-Soviet criminal fraternity, through the lens of Belgian artist Nicolas Wieërs. The project explores the significance of tattoos among these men, who once held power in the Soviet underworld but now face social exclusion and poverty. Wieërs aims to challenge societal perceptions of crime and justice, highlighting the hypocrisy in how society treats visible criminals versus those in power. The exhibition runs until November 9, 2025, across six locations in Brussels. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
