Considering that the revolution that is first 2004 modern art in Ukraine happens to be socially and politically involved. After Maidan revolution (2013) now utilizing the war, art actively reacts to terrible experiences that are social. The questions of females and migrants legal rights, in specific, are exacerbated. Along with her exhibition curated for TRANSEUROPA, Oksana Briukhovetska will contextualize feminist and gender problems within the art industry and culture generally speaking, supplying a perspective that is comparative the existing Ukrainian situation along with other post-Soviet and Eastern europe. The exhibition “Women’s Texts” is an accumulation of functions by musicians from Ukraine, Poland, Czechia and Russia, whom utilize various mediums and a feminist optic to express various issues impacting ladies in post-soviet/post- socialist countries.

All the works had been developed in the last few years and exhibited at the Culture that is visual Research (Kyiv, Ukraine) included in a trilogy of feminist exhibitions: “Motherhood” (2015), “What in me personally is Feminine? ” (2015) and “TEXTUS. Embroidery, textile, feminism” (2017). These exhibitions offered women artists a platform for expression and a setting for public discussion of social issues and women’s experiences as women in the contemporary art world are usually in less privileged positions.

One of many important problems raised had been the situation that is economic of and women’s work.

The Ukrainian-Russian cooperative “Shvemy” exposes in its performance just how western brands utilize servant labour in developing nations to sew low priced clothes. Sofia Vremennaya examines in her work the labour migration of Ukrainian ladies. Aleka Polis of Poland makes use of the image of women cleaner as compared to a figure of protest that becomes a metaphor for struggle and elimination.

One of many exhibitions within the trilogy ended up being committed solely to embroidery and textile, which occupy a unique spot among the various mediums. Labelled as “female” strategies, they carry subversive emancipative potential: as opposed to their conventional ornamental function, these are typically used to produce and read “Women’s Texts”. Feminist art redefines them by subversively stripping away conservative connotations.
