Journey to the “Kyiv Island” – a lecture at Korsaks’ Museum!

As part of the art project “Kyiv Island,” dedicated to the phenomenon of the legendary “Squat on Olehivska,” we invite you to a special lecture that offers a deeper look into one of the most fascinating phenomena in Ukrainian art.

April 17 (Friday)
5:00 PM
Free admission

Lecture by Olha Konovalova:
“Journey to Kyiv Island: Meeting the Artists of the ‘Squat on Olehivska’”

This is not just a lecture — it is an attempt to feel this environment from within.
A space that was neither a museum nor a gallery, yet became one of the key centers of contemporary Ukrainian art. We will talk about experiment, freedom, and the birth of a new artistic language in independent Ukraine.

Olha Konovalova is a PhD in Art Studies (Borys Grinchenko Kyiv Metropolitan University), a researcher of Ukrainian culture from traditional forms to contemporary art. At the center of her research is the question of how meanings are born — in symbols, images, and artistic environments. She pays special attention to the phenomenon of the “Squat on Olehivska” as a space of freedom and co-creation.

We invite you on April 17 at 5:00 PM!
