The third, “Fantastic Improvisations by Ukrainian Artists of the 21st Century,” focuses on decorativism and generational continuity and involves the use of modern technologies, including elements of augmented reality.
The opening of the project is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. at 24 Volodymyrska Street, Kyiv (Khlibnya Gallery).
The organizers note that the exhibition is intended to reflect on the experience of war, the transformation of society, and the role of art as a space for support, memory, and solidarity.
