SUMMERpropaganda: Screening of documentaries by PinchukArtCentre and Docudays UA

From 3 July until end of August 2014, the PinchukArtCentre and Docudays UA International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival, supported by the National Oleksandr Dovzhenko Centre, invite to SUMMERpropaganda - a lineup of public film screenings and discussions that will be held as part of a group show of three Ukrainian artists Nikita Kadan, Zhanna Kadyrova and Artem Volokitin entitled “Fear and Hope”. All events will be taking place at the PinchukArtCentre. Participation is free.

“Fear and Hope” is an urgent artistic response to the new sociopolitical context of Ukraine formed by recent events in the country and ongoing crisis. Art works presented within the exhibition cover topics of memory, nostalgia and history, heritage and the role of media in the modern world, thus creating a platform for discussions that go beyond visual arts.

Public film screenings will help reveal the theme of the exhibition in a broader historical context, referring the viewer to the recent past Ukraine and going beyond a purely domestic background. Screenings will be followed by discussions featuring artists, critics, historians, theorists, political scientists, composers and etc.

Due to a limited number of seats, participation is subject to advance registration. Please call +380 44 590 08 58.
