«Ukrainian Art: Decolonizing Perspectives» is a series of lectures running from mid-September to mid-November. Invited speakers include Kateryna Yakovlenko, Oksana Barshynova, Anastasiia Manuliak, Aliona Penzii, Alya Segal, Sviatoslav Chyruk and others.

The programme examines the colonial influence on several generations of Ukrainians from different angles of view, with particular attention to Dnipro and the eastern regions of Ukraine. Many of us grew up in an environment where Russian narratives dominated in education, in the media, and in the art. Today, we critically rethinking the contours and extent of this influence and learning to distinguish what is ours from what was imposed on us. This is not only a cultural process but also a personal one: a process of reclaiming an identity alienated by Moscow-centrism and russification.

The “Open Studio” programme — a series of events with artists working across various media.
We invite you to share your own artistic practice in Dnipro through three different formats. 

The programme offers an opportunity not only to present your artistic projects, but also to share your creative methods and engage with Dnipro's art community through hands-on exchange.

An exhibition about space — mythical, uncanny, and real. About its indivisibility and its many forms of manifestation. About movement and conscious action that change the way we perceive it. About healing trauma within the chaos and constant horror of contemporary life.

The project is the result of a collaboration between two artists from Dnipro. It began with the paintings and poetry of Volodymyr Gabuda, for which Oleksandr Suprun created a sound installation.

On September 26, Artsvit for Kids launches its autumn art programme «Legends about the City», led by Alina Shtefan. The programme invites children to explore the mysteries and legends of the city and discover its places of inspiration.

Meetings will take place every Saturday for 10 weeks: at 11:00 AM for children aged 6–9, and at 1:00 PM for children aged 10–13.

We will discover what secrets the Great River has hidden beneath the water, build cardboard bridges, write a short diary of a future traveller, create our own tram line with unusual stops, invent their names, and draw a map of the starry Dnipro. There will also be many other discoveries, adventures, encounters, and creative experiments along the way!
