What does war mean to you?\u00a0As part of the BERLIN GLOBAL exhibition, the artist Masha Pryven invites the audience to the room “War” for an interactive performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pryven’s intervention stems from her observation that the war in Ukraine has no place in the room “War” at BERLIN GLOBAL, creating a gap. This gap is dangerous: On one hand, it leaves room for misinformation and fantasy; on the other, it enables the societal suppression of a nearby catastrophe. Pryven seeks ways to forge a genuine emotional connection between those who live in peace and those who are at war. How does a war in Europe change your own understanding of peace? Can a brief encounter with another reality change your worldview?<\/p>\n

The performance is based on Pryven’s ongoing art project with people living through the war in Ukraine. For this, Pryven regularly travels to her\u00a0homeland<\/span>\u00a0and asks the question: If you had the opportunity to speak to people in Europe, what would you tell them?<\/p>\n

The Berlin audience has the opportunity to become part of the performance and address the absence of the topic “War in Ukraine” at BERLIN GLOBAL.<\/p>\n

After the performance, we invite you to a reading by the author Ewa Maria Slaska, followed by a discussion on how contemporary conflicts are handled in museums and institutions, featuring Daria Prydybailo (art historian and curator) and Daniel Morat (curator of the room “War”).<\/p>\n

The performance will be held in both English and German, while the subsequent discussion will be conducted in German.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
