During the event, you will be able to immerse yourself in the context of key international discussions that influence the creation of artworks, including the nominees of the Future Generation Art Prize 2024 exhibition. To better understand what issues they raise and what ideas they explore in their projects, we invite you to join Tamara Hundorova's lecture “How Provinces Speak and How the Cultural Logic of Decolonization Works”.
The focus of the conversation:● why provincialism is associated with cultural backwardness and how it becomes resistance;● why Mykola Khvylovy's “Asian Renaissance” resonates with decolonization; ● what the “third space” is and how cultural provincialization works.
