Abstract/Summary

How does the war in Ukraine change art practice for those involved, sheltering from attack, displaced or exiled, re-pairing and re-building, or acting in support from safety abroad. What constitutes the shift in perspective for artists and how can we develop strategies for recovery? These questions are at the heart of the exhibition and the enquiries of the artists and activists involved. The exhibition features artworks from over 60 Ukrainian and international artists, for exhibition including Igor Gusev, Nikita Kadan, Zhanna Kadyrova, Alevtina Kakhidze, Lesja Khomenko, Pavlo Makov, Olha Pryymak, Marcel Onisko, Oleg Tistol, leading Ukrainian artists who are displaced or currently sheltering from the war zone. The exhibition is organised by Susanne Clausen and Pavlo Kerestey.
