Month: November 2025

On 12 December 2025 at 5:00 PM, the Korsaks’ Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art will host the opening of the multi-venue project “Інший поруч” (“The Other Nearby”).

The project will run from 12 December to 20 February.

“Інший поруч” will encompass six locations in Lutsk:

• Korsaks’ Museum

• Lutsk Art Museum

• Volyn Regional Museum of Local History

• Okolnyi Castle

• Art space “Dim na Halshky” (“House on Halshka”)

• Industrial space “Budynok Ofitseriv” (“Officers’ House”).

The “Інший поруч” project began on 15 June 2025 with an Open Call for artists from all over the world. As a result, we selected over 200 artists who created contemporary interpretations of the coexistence of humans and animals — as two equal beings, capable of presence, connection, and respect.

The project will be accompanied by a rich parallel programme.

This event will open a new artistic route in the city and invite visitors to take a broader look at reciprocity, presence, and co-being with the “Other”.

The museum is pet friendly, so we will be happy to welcome visitors together with your beloved animal companions

The project is supported by the Lutsk City Council.

Ieva Cāruka works with painting, textiles, and ceramics, combining modernist forms, expressive lines, and bold colors. At the center of her new works is the woman as a bearer of strength, memory, and the genetic code of a nation.

The exhibition features large-format mixed-media works, a series of ceramic “Vases” and “Kalevala” miniatures, as well as selected pieces from the 1980s–1990s that reflect the artist’s early development.

It is a conversation about corporeality, love, inner light, and the resilience of the woman who holds the world.

Admission is free. You are welcome to join!
