Our prosperity, our progress, the industrial economy – they are all largely based on the extraction of valuable minerals, ores and fossil fuels. These resources have always been closely linked to the country in which they are found, and progressive capitalism carts them around the globe. Right up to the present day, people and their ideas have become the main driving forces of the economy and, in a certain sense, a natural resource. The exhibition, curated by Nastia Khlestova & Maksym Khodak, explores the lives and experiences of Ukrainians changed by war-induced migration. A paradox emerges in connection with movement. While the artists speak of a change of location, they are also concerned with the rigidity of being displaced.
