We are looking for your stories for the project “The Museum of Forgetting: Dnipro”

Artist Dasha Podoltseva and composer Olexiy Shmurak are working on the project “The Museum of Forgetting: Dnipro” at the Artsvit Gallery (March 26 — early May 2026). This exhibition will be based on personal stories related to Dnipro. We are interested in two aspects: desirable and undesirable forgetting.

Undesirable forgetting: stories about things that are being destroyed and forgotten, but that we would like to preserve.

Desirable forgetting: things that are firmly lodged in our memory, but that are unpleasant and that we would like to get rid of.

If you have a story like this, please share it using this form.

We are collecting your stories until March 2, 23:59.

The project is part of RIBBON International's KEY WORK: Art Grants program in partnership with Jam Factory Art Center.
