Kyiv Biennial 2021, “Allied”
From the official website:
The fourth edition of the Kyiv Biennial, an international forum for art, knowledge, and politics that integrates exhibitions and discussion platforms, was taking place from October 16 to November 14, 2021. The edition “Allied” emphasizes cross-border collaboration and is jointly curated by members of the East Europe Biennial Alliance: Biennale Matter of Art Prague, Biennale Warszawa, Kyiv Biennial, OFF-Biennale Budapest, and Survival Kit Festival Riga.
The biennial’s diverse program addressed historical forms and contemporary examples of cultural and political alliances in Eastern Europe and beyond and their ability to create new social formats. Allied – Kyiv Biennial 2021 hosted a series of art projects and educational events particularly focusing on the conditions, political factors, and institutional actors that foster new alliances in the 21st century. The Kyiv Biennial explored the architectural context of the city and the residuals of Soviet modernism — the main location was the House of Cinema.
