Kaleidoscope of (Hi)Stories - Art from Ukraine - by Waanders Publishers (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Kaleidoscope of (Hi)stories - Art from Ukraine' shows a spectrum of Ukraine's art history, with a selection of works ranging from paintings, drawings, video, installation, performance, sculpture, sound, photography and textiles. Together with the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen in Dresden, Museum de Fundatie's aim with this exhibition is to contribute to protecting Ukraine's artistic heritage and supporting contemporary Ukrainian creators, many of whom have had to flee their country. Taking four themes as its starting point, this book reveals the strong interconnectedness of Ukraine's turbulent history, the country's permanent social and political unrest and the work of Ukrainian artists. Against Oppression, Forgotten Histories, Spaces of Freedom and Thoughts on the Future each reflect the dynamic between the drive for freedom and the mechanisms of oppression."--Publisher information.
