‘Land to Return, Land to Care’ is a laboratory for artistic research on war experiences. The project brought together curators, artists, and researchers who through dialogue looked for ways to comprehend the war and reflected on changes in their own lives and the environment.
During the autumn of 2022, ten Ukrainian artists created new artworks using image, sound, and text. The laboratory included internal workshops and discussions among participants and curators, while the general audience could join lectures and meetings with experts who research the impact of war through art, ecology, and information technologies.
The artworks created during the lab and recordings of public events are available on the online platform landtoreturn.com.ua.
The platform is designed and developed by Kultura Studio.
