On the coming Tuesday and Wednesday — July 15 and 16 — we are forced to suspend the work of the exhibition "Looking into the Gaps II" due to technical reasons!
We will return to the usual schedule from July 17 — please take this into account when planning your visit to the Artsvit Gallery.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding ♥
We are excited to invite you to a long-awaited event for the Artsvit team — the presentation of the gallery’s collection website next Friday!
The event will feature Victoriia Nikitina, curator of the collection, and Oksana Barshynova, art historian and Deputy Director of the National Art Museum of Ukraine. The discussion will be moderated by Oleksandra Shovkun.
«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.
