The exposition "Legacy for the Future" showcases a diverse array of works. In addition to classical pieces, it features vibrant and unique avant-garde art, including a series of posters dedicated to avant-garde architecture of the Urals. These posters were created by Dana Timonina, a graduate of the Yekaterinburg Academy of Contemporary Art.

The term "avant-garde" in art refers to an artistic movement of the early XX century. This movement deliberately opposed academic traditions, rejecting classical conventions. Avant-garde artists are known for their experiments with forms, bright colors, and innovative ideas. Some of the most famous avant-garde movements include expressionism, cubism, futurism, surrealism, and constructivism.

A striking example of avant-garde creativity is Dana Timonina’s poster series. The main focus is on the combination of various visual elements. Visitors can see photographs of real architectural objects from the Urals, collages, and stylized geometric shapes. To create the posters, both contemporary original photographs and archival images were used.

The textual component plays a significant role: the posters feature fragments of poems by avant-garde poet Vasily Kamensky, emphasizing the connection of the work to the avant-garde movement of the XX century.

The exposition "Legacy for the Future" presents works by young artists from six countries: Russia, China, India, Brazil, Ethiopia, and Iran. Through their art, these creators offer personal responses to contemporary challenges. They reflect on the present, express their attitude towards the past, and contemplate the future.

Visitors to the National Centre can enjoy the exposition either independently or by joining a free guided tour lasting 30 or 60 minutes. Registration is available on the website in the "Events" section.
