3D tour of the exhibition “Vasyl Stus. As Long as We’re Here, Everything Will Be Fine”

Mystetskyi Arsenal presents a virtual tour of the “Vasyl Stus. As Long as We’re Here, Everything Will Be Fine” exhibition. You can view the 3D tour from anywhere in the world — just click on the image below ⤵️

Six exhibition halls and the entrance area are available for online viewing. You can exclusively listen to audio recordings, including a recording of Vasyl Stus reading his own poems. We also invite you to watch unique archival (and other) videos, take a close look at works by Alla Horska, Halyna Sevruk, Opanas Zalyvakha, and explore the key ideas of the exhibition in Ukrainian and English.

How did the authors of the exhibition envision and create it? In the six halls—chapters of the exhibition—stories unfold from the lives of not only Vasyl Stus. He remains at the center of the narrative, yet many people surround him, each of whom deserves separate attention.

CURATORIAL TEXT

Contemporary cultural leaders bring their own voices to Vasyl Stus’s poetry: Serhii Zhadan, Akhtem Seitablaiev, Oleksandra Matviichuk, Yaryna Chornohuz, Myroslava Barchuk, Kateryna Kalytko, Volodymyr Yermolenko, Tetyana Ogarkova, and Taras Kompanichenko.

Built on metaphor and allusion, the exhibition’s architecture transports visitors into the 1960s–1980s, allowing them to feel that era’s atmosphere and revealing narrative and thematic continuities echoing today.

“Vasyl Stus. As Long As We’re Here, Everything Will Be Fine” is Mystetskyi Arsenal’s first project dedicated to historical heritage since Russia launched its full-scale invasion against Ukraine.
