I’m multidisciplinary artist, designer, curator, PhD, teacher of Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts, expert of the Ukrainian Cultural Fundation, from Kharkiv, Ukraine. For me, art is a universal language of communication and research, which has no borders and is understood in all countries. It is particularly important to raise social issues for discussion and to involve the viewer emotionally. Until 2022, I worked mainly on environmental issues. But since the start of Russia’s massive invasion of Ukraine, I’ve been focusing on questions of postcolonialism and national identity. I began, of course, with my own experiences of the war, but then broadened my vision of the problem. I study the causes and consequences of the war in Ukraine, the historical origins of this crisis and the theme of decolonization. Today, the main subjects I work on are the global cultural crisis, decolonization, the information crisis and the crisis of democracy.
