Reading Group

Reading Group is an initiative aimed at a deeper understanding of artistic practices through the experience of reading, analyzing, and discussing literary works collectively.
The format of the reader group involves moderated group discussions of literary and humanities texts related to particular artistic works presented in the exhibition.
The meetings of the Reading Group for the exhibition “I Feel You” will be moderated by Olena Huseinova, a radio host, radio producer, and writer. She works at Radio Kultura (Suspilne). She received the Ivan Franko Prize (together with Myroslav Laiuk) for the special project “Lesya Ukrainka: 30 Radio Stories”. She is the author of three poetry collections: Open Rider (2012), Superheroes (2016), and Night Air (2024). The book Superheroes won the first prize in the illustration competition of the Book Arsenal International Festival in 2017 and a number of prestigious international awards in the field of book design. She writes short fiction and essays. His texts have been translated into English, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Hebrew, Finnish, Lithuanian, Estonian, and other languages.
