Join us for a presentation of performative works and film at the former Toxteth TV studios. Taking part in the 2018 SWAP: UK/Ukraine residency programme, artists Victoria Myronyuk, Nikolay Karabinovych, Anna Kakhiani and curator Lina Romanukha will show works in progress which they are producing in response to their time in Liverpool.
The SWAP programme, now in its third year, was launched by the British Council in Ukraine to connect and support the professional development of artists and curators from Ukraine and the UK. Victoria Myronyuk (b. 1985, Kolomyia ,Ukraine) is an interdisciplinary artist, performer and theatre maker. Myronyuk works on a variety of projects at the intersection of performance and visual arts, which research the issue of ritual structures, its boundaries and potentialities.  Nikolay Karabinovych (b. 1988, Odessa, Ukraine) lives and works in Kyiv and Odessa. Karabinovych works with video, text, sound and performance. He is interested in the fluid identities of post-socialist Eastern Europe, clashes between new nationalisms and contradictions of historical narratives. Anna Kakhiani (b. 1991, Kovel, Ukraine) lives in Kyiv. Her multidisciplinary practice includes experiments and public interventions around subject areas such as religion and anxiety. Recent exhibitions in Kyiv include On the Line (2018), Land as Non/Subject (2017) and The Festival of Young Ukrainian Artists Today That Never Happened (2017).
Lina Romanukha (b. 1985, Rivne, Ukraine) is a curator and cultural manager based in Kyiv. Lina was the coordinator of the international educational project The Procession of Icons at the Les Kurbas National Theatre Centre and is currently the curator of the Art Wednesday and Residency Program at IZOLYATSIA.
