February 6–7
PERFORMATIVE WEEKEND “The Other Nearby: Beyond Beauty” at Korsaks’ Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art!
The Performative Weekend is one of the key events of The Other Nearby project, unfolding its concept through live action, bodily presence, sound, and interaction with space and the viewer. Over two days, the museum will transform into an open stage where performance becomes a way to explore empathy, vulnerability, the tension between beauty, and the coexistence of humans and the “Other” — animal, body, voice, experience.
Performative interventions are integrated directly into the exhibition space of The Other Nearby, activating artworks, routes, and the viewer’s perception. The visitor does not merely observe, but becomes a participant in a process where art happens here and now.
