Symphony: Ukrainian contemporary art after 2014
The talk attempts to
explore how the situation of anxiety and numbness has been shaping topics and
tendencies in Ukrainian contemporary art after 2013-2014, when the
revolutionary events known as Euromaidan were happening, till 2022 when the
Russian full-scale invasion shook the whole country. The lecture also reflects
on the possibilities and transformation of the language of art in the face of
fading communication.
