Ukrainian cultural institutions during the war years. The Dnipro experience | Lecture by Iryna Polikarchuk

On February 24, 2022, the lives of Ukrainians were divided into BEFORE and AFTER. Since then, thousands of tragedies have occurred, and today the war continues. Despite everything, we learned not only to survive and fight for freedom but also to continue living and making social changes. All Ukrainian cultural institutions were forced to cancel their programs a year ago. Someone relocated or closed, and others began adapting to new conditions. Especially in cities bordering the front line, such as our Dnipro. Our director Iryna Polikarchuk will soon talk about this experience at a lecture in Poland – Ukraińskie instytucje kultury w czasie wojny. Doświadczenie Dnipra | Wykład Iryny Polikarczuk
 
Now she is a resident of the Labirynt Gallery in Lublin. During the residency, Iryna aims to learn more and take over Galeria Labirynt’s experience in working with children and its inclusive approaches to the audience. She will also share information about Ukrainian creative society and talk about experiences of Ukrainian cultural institutions during the ongoing war.
 
WHEN: 27.04.2023, 18:00
WHERE: Solidarny Dom Kultury "Słonecznik", Pańska 3 street, Warsaw

Expanded Edition of Ukrainian Female Artists' Names on Secondary Archive

The new edition (IV) of Secondary Archive Ukraine focuses on the theme of return:

— the return of artists who have become military service members to the art field through bringing visibility to their practice and personal histories;

— the return of artists who were born or professionally realized abroad but maintain strong ties to Ukraine - not only through their identity, but also through the themes they address (migration, trauma, periphery, etc.). In this case, the return is understood as discursive and intellectual re-engagement with the Ukrainian art context;

— drawing attention to artists who have remained on the margins of visibility and outside dominant or visible communities.

Artsvit for Kids Autumn Programme: Legends About the City

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!
