The video is grainy and filmed in low light so CNN cannot definitively say the speaker is Prigozhin or when it was filmed. The video appears unedited and the metadata on the file, as well as the position of the sun in the footage, suggests it was likely filmed at dusk on July 18. In the video, a fighter seemingly addresses the Wagner leader as “Yevgeny Viktorovich,” Prigozhin’s first name and patronymic. He played a prominent role in the invasion of Ukraine and since the uprising his whereabouts have been unclear.ĬNN has geolocated the video to a previously disused military base in Asipovichy, roughly 80 kilometers (49 miles) southeast of the capital Minsk. Prigozhin’s rebellion posed one of the biggest challenges to the long rule of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Welcome to the Belarusian land! We fought with dignity! We have done a lot for Russia,” a man resembling and sounding like Prigozhin says in the video, which was posted on pro-Wagner Telegram channels on Wednesday and then shared on Prigozhin’s account. “Welcome guys! I am happy to greet you all. In the meantime, here is a sampling of our favorite figurative works (available through Kai Lin Gallery).A video emerged on Wednesday that appears to show Wagner founder Yevgeny Prigozhin greeting his fighters in Belarus, in what would be his first public appearance since he led an armed rebellion in Russia last month. She is also preparing to work on a mural for the new Mailchimp offices within Ponce City Market.īasically, pretty soon you won't be able to drive around ATL without seeing Lela's work. What is she working on now? She just collaborated with several other ATL artists to coat the exterior walls of Hodge Podge Coffeehouse & Gallery in art and it looks great. In addition to her studio practice and pushing forward into a new body of work, Lela has done murals with Moreland Avenue Mural Project, Forward Warrior, Phoenix Fest and Living Walls. Prior to becoming her gallerist, she explained that Kai recommended her to Orpheus Brewing and she has since designed imagery for their labels, painted on site, etc. She was very gracious in speaking about Yu Kai and Ben Goldman, respective curators of those spaces and their support and encouragement of her as an artist. He led us through all the great things happening with Elizabeth Jarrett's performance space Downtown Players Club and collaborative entity Deer Bear Wolf, as well as with Notch8 Gallery which opened last year in South Atlanta.Īlthough we were largely in the dark about most of those, Lela exhibits her work at K ai Lin Gallery and Kibbee Gallery, two venues we know and love. We also met Ray Geier, who dropped by the studio during our visit and told us all about the street painting he had completed around East Atlanta Village. Lela's studio mate is another artist we have been following, Megan Mosholder, who sounds like she is having an incredibly busy/successful year. You may also know him from his other endeavors over at Paris on Ponce where Mutiny artists are offered a space to show their work. A recent graduate of Kennesaw State University (College of the Arts) Lela just moved into a new studio space in Mutiny Artwrx, which was developed and founded by JP McChesney, an artist himself.
