This exhibition explores the rich yet tragic history of Ukraine’s Rozstriliane Vidrodzhennia (Executed Renaissance), a movement that flourished in the 1920s–1930s but was brutally suppressed under Stalinist repressions.
Through film, art, and storytelling, the event seeks to foster cross-cultural understanding and appreciation of Ukraine’s cultural legacy.
It features a screening of Slovo House: Unfinished Novel (2017) by Taras Tomenko, a documentary exploring the lives of Ukrainian artists in the 1920s within the infamous Slovo House, as well as a display of visual and literary works from key figures of the movement.
The exhibition consists of a ‘memorial plaque’ of all those killed, persecuted, and emigrated; photographs of historical places and personalities; documents from the NKVD archives; drawings, caricatures, paintings, magazines, and almanacs published by representatives of the movement.
