On October 19, we will open the next exhibition at Jam Factory Art Center, dedicated to social interaction during times of great trauma and upheaval.
The exhibition, “Structures of Reciprocity,” is based on the concept of architectural constructions in which the main elements support one another without additional reinforcements. This model serves as a metaphor for the societal structure of mutual support, which Ukrainian society painfully and intuitively rediscovered in 2014 and again in 2022.
During the opening of the exhibition “Structures of Reciprocity,” we are supporting an ongoing fundraiser by Ukrainian artist and director Olena Apchel for tactical medical supplies. Admission to the exhibition on the opening day is free, but we encourage visitors to support the fundraiser, as tactical medicine is crucial for saving lives!
