The exhibition "I Feel You" presents a sound installation by Indian artist Shilpa Gupta called For, in your tongue, I cannot fit. From a hundred microphones, poetry from different countries and different times, the authors of which were repressed, sounds. In this work, they finally get a voice and sound in a common space, becoming a symbol of resistance and an expression of freedom.
During Yaryna Tsymbal's lecture, we will turn to such voices in Ukrainian literature.Our 1920s is a decade that was later called the Executed Renaissance.
● Did these people have time and what exactly to say to their contemporaries and future generations?● What rang louder for history, their voices or the shots that took their lives?● And what is needed to hear these voices?
Let's talk about our 1920s from a century perspective to find points of intersection with our 2020s and understand what they speak to us.
