The emergency for solidarity in response to the ongoing war waged by Russia reveals the real meaning of things, and the value of words and ideas. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the self-organized Ukrainian institutions – such as volunteering organizations, international culture foundations, and networking initiatives with their effective strategies of resistance, have tested the existing institutions of collaboration, and proven that many common ideas on dignity, conflicts, and peacekeeping have been far from real humanity or justice. 

The program presents four artistic investigations and comments on the notion of peace which is not always equal to justice. Participating artists are renowned for their active stance and dedication to civil society principles.

The program is a statement of Kyiv Art Week. 

Mediators: Eugene Bereznitsky, Maria Vtorushina, Olena Iegorova.
