For two months, teenagers aged 14 to 19 got acquainted with contemporary Ukrainian art and its representatives, explored the collection of the Artswit gallery and had 4 workshops: on performance, printing on fabric, sound design and video art. The goal of the program was to show young people various tools and media through which they can express themselves - to destroy the stereotype that art is only classical painting and to inspire creativity and interaction.
In the pop-up format, we will present the works of project participants created in master classes with experts. These will be both individual statements and collective ones, because in each session, the mentors suggested that teenagers create within the framework of a theme that united everyone's ideas, weaving all the works into a common narrative.
For example, at the workshop on printing on fabric by Tatyana Pukhnavtseva, the youth focused on the theme of protection. For this, they chose the image of a fortress: they worked with the shapes of various towers, spires, houses and other architectural elements to create a composition where the printed forms were to form a closed structure and what they “protect”. They talked about what exactly needs to be preserved, what should be placed inside the composition - vulnerable, beloved, tender and important for each of the participants.
And this is one of the many reflections developed and embodied by the participants of the program through creative media, which we have now revealed to you. We offer to see more at the exhibition!
