The exhibition “Dance in a war zone?” lasts 6 weeks. During this time, 2 curated tours, 5 workshops on various topics, 3 body practices, a round table and a professional discussion took place within its borders. The exhibition became a huge project that showed the audience Ukrainian contemporary dance and told about its existence during the war. Events within the walls of the museum raised important questions about heritage preservation, directions of museum practice, ways of writing about dance and how it interacts with other arts.
We invite you to the closing of the exhibition to reflect on everything you have seen or to get to know the exposition and its creators. At the event, you will be able to listen to the results of the project from the artists and curators, see the performance of its participant Larisa Venediktova, and walk through the exposition as part of the final curatorial tour. The event coincides with the museum’s 125th anniversary, so you’ll be there for the birthday, too!
