\u201cAm I a member of my generation?\u201d \u2013 asks a character in Woody Allen\u2019s movie \u201cWhatever Works\u201d. The same question is also posed by young artists in this interdisciplinary exhibition at the \u201cKreiv\u0117s\u201d festival. They are the post-soviet, but not yet millennial generation. In Lithuania, we would call it the Independence generation. But what name could we give it in Ukraine?<\/p>\n
Just as the democracy in their country, these artists are also just slightly older than 26. This number is not just an age, but also a universal symbol that engenders the human experience. In Unicode, an computing language, combinations containing 26 allude to gender and sexuality: U+2640 denotes a female, U+26A3 \u2013 male homosexuality, U+26A5 \u2013 intersex, U+26A7 \u2013 transex, U+26AA \u2013 asexuality. How have such identities that \u201cdid not exist\u201c in soviet times succeeded in breaking the ice in such a pseudo-traditional society?<\/p>\n
Some works in the exhibition are playful, maybe full of mockery, self-deprecation, and sometimes provocative or just ironic. Yet still, they reflect on problems that all of us as a generation and\/or society face by being immigrants, not conforming with heteronormativity, or simply not accepted as our authentic selves.<\/p>\n
Artists: Gorsad, Anton Karyuk, Yulia Krivich, Lena Siyatovska. Curators: Rasa Kavaliauskait\u0117, Augustas \u010ci\u010delis.<\/p>\n
