About event
The second public event of the Disposable Collective 1/2026 programme takes the form of an open workshop where artists share their ongoing research, practices, and experiences.
Participants will present a series of solo performances and installations connected by a common question: “Why do we do what we do?”
Through movement, balance, urban walks, tactile experience, and reflections on darkness, the artists explore different ways of navigating reality and maintaining a connection with themselves and their surroundings.
About perfomances
Yaryna comes to the art center from home, as if returning home. This place is a hideaway where you can do anything you want. But everything has a purpose. Even “getting lost” or “hiding” ultimately serves as a guide to finding a path, an answer, or balance.
Over time, Yura realized that he needed to train his physical and mental balance. Now he remembers what it’s like to ride a scooter and a skateboard. He gets bruises and scrapes. He feels micro-control and micro-movements in his pelvic area. He keeps his intermittent path in sight.
Katya often hears that Lviv lacks a river. Her journey to Jam Factory often begins at the Academy of Arts. She often walks the same route, rarely looking around, often looking down at her feet, often thinking about what’s beneath her feet. She almost always wears headphones—and the sounds of the city blend with her music into a wall of noise. When Katya approaches the factory, it feels as though the sea is just around the corner.
In these turbulent times, Anya feels how external factors can weaken our connection to reality. Due to a loss of control, security, and support, her attention wanders, and her body feels as if it’s detached. Returning to the present often happens not through thoughts, but through bodily experience: a step becomes a means of orientation, and tactile experience—a language that precedes words. Anya’s installation invites us to turn to tactility and seek contact with reality through what lies beneath our feet.
Maria is fascinated by darkness: where life comes from and where it goes. The darkness within us, and the darkness that surrounds what we see and know in the world.
Admission is free with prior registration.
Disposable Collective 1/2026 brings together artists from different disciplines working at Jam Factory Art Center throughout 2026. Together they develop a new performance project, experiment with formats and themes, organise public events, and ultimately create a premiere work that will become part of the art centre’s programme.
