Organised by:<\/strong>\u00a0 Svitlana Biedarieva and Klara Kemp-Welch (The Courtauld Institute of Art)<\/p>\n

Ukrainian Art\u00a0Now: Spaces of Identity\u00a0<\/em>examines\u00a0the\u00a0cultural dimensions of the social reload that found its expression in the\u00a0revolutionary\u00a0Maidan\u00a0events of November 2013-February 2014.\u00a0Building on the\u00a0unprecedented number of recent cultural events devoted to Ukrainian art worldwide\u00a0(among others the touring exhibition\u00a0I am a Drop in the Ocean: Art of the Ukrainian Revolution)<\/em>, our\u00a0symposium brings together leading Ukrainian artists and curators to discuss identity, protest and the social legacies of contemporary Ukrainian art in relation to key political changes and cultural transformations.<\/p>\n

Our main aim is to\u00a0interrogate changes in the field of Ukrainian identity as these are being expressed in visual and conceptual terms. If, for decades,\u00a0Ukraine lacked new symbols with which to integrate its two major language groups and to\u00a0accommodate an expanded variety of cultural perspectives, the\u00a0new mythologies emerging from the flames of the uprising suggest that Ukrainian culture is now breaking with the post-Soviet symbolic model, moving towards new forms of self-identification.\u00a0Contemporary art’s enormous potential as a vehicle for representing and analysing these processes makes it a crucial point of reference for any consideration of current affairs in the region.<\/p>\n

The symposium addresses the following questions: How have contemporary artists in Ukraine reacted to the social critique that caused the unrest,\u00a0prompting radical social transformations? To what extent have\u00a0artists been critical in their engagement with recent political tensions? What visions of internal and international relations have they proposed? We explore how artists have negotiated the trauma of recent violence, and consider how the doubts and hopes played out in the protests are being expressed in contemporary Ukrainian artistic practices.<\/p>\n
