SUMMARY:ARTbasement and PrideHub. Exhibition of Ukrainian queer art "We are here." 01.06 - 30.06.2025
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition of Ukrainian queer art “We are here.”\n01.06.–01.07.2025 \n“We are here.” is a joint project of the ARTbasement of the Kharkiv Municipal\nGallery and PrideHub\, dedicated to Pride Month. The artists whose works are presented in the exhibition became finalists of the Open Call\, which covered almost all\nregions of Ukraine and a wide variety of techniques: oil painting\, pastel and watercolor graphics\, textiles\, installation\, photography\, video art\, performance\, etc.\nMost of the works in the exhibition are united by the motif of inner searches\, deep personal stories conveyed through emotional poetic images. Self-portraits\, nude nature or reflections on themselves through bizarre masks or text – 13 artists enter into a difficult dialogue with the audience about identity. “We are here.” is a reflection. These works of art are a journey\, with waiting at gas stations\, potholes in the asphalt\, sharp turns\, idiots on the road\, sleeping in the car. “We are here.” is a challenge. A reminder that once rejected people stand up and continue to fight for their right to exist. “We are here.” is the courage to face ourselves and society\, good and bad\, face to face. “During Pride Month\, we celebrate diversity\, but we also do not forget about the challenges that the LGBTQ+ community faces every day. Visibility is an important step towards creating a progressive and European society. When LGBTQ+ people have the ability to speak openly about themselves\, it helps us understand that they are not some abstract people\, but real people: our friends\, acquaintances\, relatives. With this exhibition\, we give queer artists the opportunity to tell their stories and share their own experiences\,” says the PrideHub team. “The Municipal Gallery has always been a space of freedom and challenge\, from the moment of its founding in 1996\, it was the art of the new world. “We are here.” — not the first ARTbasement exhibition dedicated to LGBTQ+\, it continues the long-standing tradition of celebrating June as Pride Month\, this time with an Open Call\, a festive opening\, lectures and other events\,” the ARTbasement team notes. \nProject artists:\nPavlo Dubinin Inst. @theworstwebperson\nAmalia Komyz Inst. @amaliiakomyz\nOlena Kovalenko Inst. @lugosipaint\nViktoria Malik Inst. @vvikmma\nMaria Mudrak Inst. @luminousartifact\nMura\nNatalia Oliferovich Inst. @nataliia_olif\nSergiy Romashko Inst. @rmshk.wav\nMarina Chaika Inst. @mare.chaika\nDmytro Khodorchuk Inst. @dmytrokhodorchuk\nNastya Shcherban Inst. @shche.creates\nElena Kikteva Inst. @kikteva_e_lena\nSofia Vinokur Inst. @vynokur.art\nVladislava Tovstyk Inst. @vlada.tov\nOleksa Struk Inst. @svit_tanoc\nAnastasia Lamkh Inst. @nasofitti\nMaria Zelenkova Inst. @ha0mas\nMarichka Fonaryova Inst. @mllieli\nVyacheslav Bocharov Inst. @cry_of_loneliness \nExhibition curators:\nDaria Gerasimova\nInst. @gerasimova.dariia\nEvgeny Danylenko\nInst. @danylenko_now \nOrganizers:\nStanislava Petlytsia\nInst. @stanislavahennadiyivna\nYakiv Lavrynets\nInst. @ysh_fsh \n
