Ukraine Pavilion at Venice Biennale 2024: Net Making as Collective Resistance
At the 60th Venice Biennale, the Ukraine Pavilion, curated by Adriano Pedrosa and titled 'Stranieri Ovunque', showcases a collaborative initiative called 'Net Making' by Viktoria Bavykina and Max Gorbatskyi. This project uses the art of weaving camouflage nets to symbolize unity. Featured artists include Katya Buchatska, Andrii Dostliev, Lia Dostlieva, Daniil Revkovskyi, Andrii Rachynskyi, and Oleksandr Burlaka. Burlaka's piece, 'Work', incorporates textiles from Ukrainian flea markets dating back to the 1950s. The pavilion also presents three projects: 'Civilians. Invasion' by Revkovskyi and Rachynskyi, 'Best Wishes' by Buchatska, and 'Comfort Work' by Dostliev and Dostlieva, reinforcing the theme of collective action in Ukraine.
