The idea of the connection between private space and independent expression remains a key one for self-organized spaces: apartment or garage galleries, open workshops, squatted or cheaply rented post-industrial premises. However, the map of such spaces in Ukraine and the idea of a protected and uncensored private space have transformed since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.
The discussion aims to create at least a cursory sketch of the history of such spaces before and after February 24, 2022. And at the same time, to show the extent to which it is possible to practice such self-organization in the future in "full-scale" times.
The discussion will be moderated by Nikita Kadan, curator of the “Insubordinate” exhibition.
