Russian Collective AES+F Presents Peace Project at Pino Pascali Foundation to Fund Ukrainian Art Residence
The Fondazione Pino Pascali in Polignano a Mare, Puglia, will host the video artwork 'Inverso Mundus' by the Russian art collective AES+F, who won the 18th Pino Pascali Prize, from July 9 to October 2, 2022. This piece, initially showcased at the 2015 Venice Biennale, aims to support the Rosokhy Sas Nest art residence in western Ukraine, which has assisted over 50 displaced individuals since the Russian invasion on February 24, 2022. Founded by Vira Nanivska, the residence is located near the Smilnytsia Crossing border with Poland. Curated by Rosalba Branà and organized in collaboration with the NGO European Integration of Ukraine, 'Inverso Mundus' examines cultural contrasts amid conflict. AES+F has halted exhibitions with Russian state entities until there is a regime change.
