Six Ukrainian artists in residency in Cagliari

The Quadriennale di Roma, under the direction of Gian Maria Tosatti, was tasked by the Italian Ministry of Culture to facilitate a residency for Ukrainian artists to interact with their Italian counterparts, curated by Valeria Pliekhotko and Sofiia Yukhimova. This initiative culminated in the exhibition 'Et in Arcadia ego' at the former Manifattura Tabacchi in Cagliari, in partnership with Sardegna Teatro, Sardegna Ricerche, and Fondazione di Sardegna. Ukrainian artists involved include Anastasiia Dytso, Mykola Ridnyi, Danylo Halkin, Sasha Roshen, and Daria Chechushkova, alongside Sardinian artists Ambra Iride Sechi and Giulia Casula, who explore issues related to tourism and military presence. The exhibition draws inspiration from Guercino's memento mori and Baroque art.
