"Where people walk, grass doesn't grow": we invite you to the final event of the "Integration Lab" project

Our residents have finally returned from Warsaw and are ready to share their thoughts and impressions with the Dnipro residents through a performative action. “Where people walk, grass does not grow” is a reflection of the participants of the “Integration Lab” on the project that has been going on for the past three months. The event will take place on June 29 at 6:00 PM.

The performance invites us to reflect on the complexity and importance of integration processes, asking the question “Is it possible to combine different elements so that they function together?”

The Integration Lab is a collaborative project between the Artsvit Gallery from Dnipro (Ukraine) and the Solidarny Dom Kultury Sonyashnik (Poland) within the public program of the exhibition "Tiger in the Garden. The Art of Maria Prymachenko", designed to create a common space for action, reflection and integration into new communities.

From March to the end of June, the Laboratory operates in the space of the Solidarny Dom Kultury "Słonecznik" at ul. Panska, 3 and simultaneously in Dnipro at the Artswit Gallery. Within the framework of the Laboratory, artists had the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of performative actions and collective practices, working with their mentors in the form of workshops, lectures and joint meetings. On June 22, in and around the exhibition space, the Laboratory group will present their final work in the form of an intervention at an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.

The Integration Lab is partnered with the Towarzystwo Przyjaciół Muzeum

“Culture Helps” is a project co-financed by the European Union within the framework of a special call for proposals to support Ukrainian displaced persons and the Ukrainian cultural and creative sectors. The project is implemented by Insha Osvita (UA) and zusa (DE).

The Integration Lab is co-financed by the Mieroszewski Center within the framework of the 2nd open call.

Next Friday, we are opening an exhibition by Dnipro-based artists

We invite you to the opening of the exhibition project Pharmacy of the Heavens — a collaborative work by Dnipro-based artists, painter Volodymyr Gabuda and sound artist Oleksandr Suprun. The opening will take place on June 5 at 6:30 PM. Combining painting, poetry, and a spatial audio installation, the exhibition will run until August 8, 2026.

Pharmacy of the Heavens continues a long-term artistic project that Volodymyr Gabuda has been developing over the past several years. This new cycle emerges as the next chapter following the exhibition Mutations, presented in 2025 at the Dnipro Art Museum. As the artist notes, the project evolves gradually — through separate fragments, like a book written in process. While Mutations focused on trauma as a protective reaction and on unconscious mechanisms of resistance, Pharmacy of the Heavens turns to a condition in which the traumatic transformations of reality have already become part of everyday life, requiring conscious “healing” actions.
