The project Between Farewell and Return is an exhibition about real and familiar places that are impossible to return to because of occupation or military activities. Thus, they transform into ephemeral and fleeting places of memories. Artists step closer to them via artistic practices, reconstruct family stories and childhood landscapes, and contemplate upon intersections of cultures and resistance against oblivion. Embodying imagination, the art allows to re-imagine and animate lost connections and reinvent images and words where they seemed to be destroyed forever.
Curatorial group: Natasha Chychasova and Asia Tsisar.
Junior curator: Anastasiia Garazd.
The authors filled the space with memories and reflections on the experiences of eviction from their native places over the course of a century: from the history of Ukrainian DPs (displaced persons) during the Second World War and those who had to leave their homes because of the flooding of territories during the construction of the Kremenchuk Hydroelectric Power Plant to the loss of homes in present-day Donetsk region and Luhansk regions.
The exhibition is organized in cooperation with Art Arsenal Community NGO. The project is supported by Partnership Fund for a Resilient Ukraine (PFRU), funded by aid from the governments of the United Kingdom, Estonia, Canada, the Netherlands, the United States of America, Finland, Switzerland, Sweden.
