Chain Reaction: Ukrainian Video Art Survey at MAXXI Rome

The MAXXI museum in Rome is hosting 'Chain Reaction, Reazione a Catena', a major survey of Ukrainian video art. The exhibition brings together works by contemporary Ukrainian artists responding to the country's political and social upheavals, particularly the 2022 Russian invasion. Curated by a team including Giorgia Basili, the show examines how video art has become a tool for documentation, resistance, and expression. Featured artists include names like Alevtina Kakhidze, Nikita Kadan, and others whose works address themes of war, identity, and memory. The exhibition runs at MAXXI, the National Museum of 21st Century Art in Rome, and is part of a broader effort to amplify Ukrainian voices in the international art scene. The show highlights the urgency of representing Ukrainian contemporary art in a global context, especially amid ongoing conflict.
