TRADITION ISN’T JUST GRANDMA’S DINNERWARE.
«To be continued”—my original media project about traditions that aren’t disappearing, but evolving with us.
My goal was to show young people that traditions aren’t necessarily something old, dusty, and forgotten. They live in our habits, families, communication, clothing, and even memes.
I am the author and leader of this project; I developed the concept, the visual style, created the media content, organized the work, and presented the project at competitions.
The initial results arrived in May of this year, when the project secured first place in the «Proekton» competition held by Kursk State University. Following that, the project was finalized, and in September, it successfully presented an online defense at the All-Russian Student Project «Your Move,» reaching the top 500 participants in the «Making» track. Now, I will be presenting this project from October 18–20 in the city of Smolensk, representing the Higher School of Economics—St. Petersburg.
1000 WAYS TO CONTINUE.
FAMILY / STYLE / EXPERIENCE / INTERACTION / MEMORY / HOLIDAYS
Instead of boring lectures on the past—posts, videos, stories, and interactives.
My task was not just to recount traditions, but to find the language through which they could be discussed engagingly with young people.
BECAUSE TRADITIONS CAN ALSO BE MODERN.
SMOLENSK, MEET US.
OCTOBER 18–20, 2026
Ahead are final defenses, new connections, expert feedback, and the opportunity to present your project on a national stage.
The suitcase isn’t packed yet, and the final outcome is uncertain.
But one thing is certain: the story that began as an idea about tradition has gone much further than I ever could have imagined.
FINALE? That’s not the end of it…
Season 2 — St. Petersburg
