Speakers

Alisa Lozhkina is an independent curator and art critic from Kyiv, Ukraine. She is one of the leading Ukrainian art historians, critics and curators. In 2013-2016 she served as a Deputy Director of Mystetskyi Arsenal, the largest museum and exhibition complex in Ukraine. In 2010-2016 she was the editor in chief of the major Ukrainian art magazine ART UKRAINE. In 2018 she was a chief curator of the first large-scale European museum presentation of three generations of Ukrainian contemporary artists at Ludwig Museum, which was nominated for Global Fine Art Awards as one of the best museum exhibitions of post-war and contemporary art in the world. In 2018 she also edited a book based on her curatorial project ART WORK. Currently she is finishing a book about the development of contemporary Ukrainian art in XX-early XXI century.

Lia Dostlieva is an artist, cultural anthropologist, and essayist. Her primary areas of interest are memory and identity. In her practice, she combines anthropological research with artistic methods to produce both artworks and critical essays. As an artist, she employs a wide range of media — from installations to textile sculptures with a particular emphasis on post-photographic practices. She works a lot with collective memory, traces of mass traumas in visual culture, and conflicting identities — with a particular focus on the 20th and 21st centuries.

Olha Honchar is a cultural expert, anti-crisis manager and the director of the Territory of Terror Museum in Lviv, a post she gained at age 24. Prior to that, she has been engaged in several art projects in Donetsk and Luhansk, such as “Under construction: Museum open”. Olha has also been researching the features of PR, cultural and museum management in Ukraine. She has also been communicator of the projects of the “Cultural Diplomacy between Regions of Ukraine” program and initiator of the Museum Crisis Center and the Ambulance Museum project, which emerged in the first days of the Russian war against Ukraine.
