"The Concentration of the Will" Exhibition

MAY, 2023

The project aims to show how contemporary art reveals the Ukrainian vision of will, which contributes to the efforts of Ukrainians today to accumulate their strength to resist the Russian invasion. In this forceful field, freedom reveals its distinct meaning, which is not always realised in times of peace. It does not appear as a desire for unlimited power, but rather as the will to collectively resist any tyranny. 
The exhibition will run simultaneously in the venues of the three organising institutions.
