Invasion is the title of the international project launched by [KSA:K], Center for Contemporary Art, Chisinau, in collaboration with the Museum of Archeology and Ethnography of Republic of Moldova in 2001. The incursions of the Golden Horde over the Eurasia continent back in the Middle Ages, served as source of inspiration in conceiving this event. The Invasion is intended as a cultural dialogue project involving artists, cultural producers and theoreticians from countries, which were affected by the Golden Horde's invasions. Up to ten participants from Mongolia, Far East Russia, former republics of the Soviet Middle Asia, Eastern and Central Europe are invited to work together in Moldova. We find major geopolitical factors of the past as being relevant to the nowadays-ongoing debates around issues of cultural imperialism, globalization or the 'westernisation'.
