National Participation - Ukraine

"Weaving nets is a key metaphor reflecting today's Ukraine. Amid the Russian invasion, Ukrainians are uniting: volunteer to fight, rebuild destroyed houses of their neighbors, fundraise, and gather to weave camouflage nets. It is a recognition of a bottom-up joint action that benefits each other and the country," the curators comment.

The theme of the Biennale Arte 2024, Stranieri Ovunque — Foreigners Everywhere, touches upon the universal issues of otherness and the coexistence of diversity. In line with the Biennale's theme, the Ukrainian Pavilion project will address the topic of otherness through personal experiences of war, emigration, assimilation in new societies, and the transformation of language under the pressure of violence.
