Discussion

This paper discusses the politicisation of everyday life in post-2020 Belarus following the suppression of the anti-authoritarian protests. Drawing on visual analysis, it shows that different forms of political participation have persisted in people’s everyday lives. Focusing on micro-level practices and experiences, it examines two forms of political expression – digital activism and alternative social practices – which have been widely used by ordinary people to express their political opinions, share information, and reach out to audiences outside the country. Through the case of Belarus, the article shows how everyday life in authoritarian contexts is part of the struggle for political changes.
