On Tuesday, December 22, at 6:30 pm, as part of the CRAWLING BORDER project by IZOLYATSIA, curator and artist Kateryna Radchenko will make a presentation Art in Times of Crisis. Ukrainian-Georgian Cooperation and Experience.

Radchenko will present two projects, R’Evolution Art and Waiting in the Margins. The project R’Evolution Art was aimed at analysing processes of art functioning as an alternative media in periods when press is incapable of delivering adequate and reliable information. The dance project Waiting in the Margins is an attempt to speak about refugees’ issues through choreography and performative practices involving forced migrants and professional dancers and performers.

The presentation will also deal with mental specifics of work with Georgian organisations and collaboration prospects.
