February 22, 2026, 6 pm

We invite you to the public discussion “Us in 2022. Us in 2026.”, which opens the public program of the exhibition “Looking into the Gaps IV.”

Join Nikita Kadan, Ilona Demchenko, Asya Tsisar, and the curators of the exhibition “Our Years, Our Words, Our Losses, Our Searches, Our Us” — Borys Filonenko, Natalia Matsenko, and Kateryna Yakovlenko — for this conversation.

The discussion that launches the public program of “Looking into the Gaps IV” is an attempt at reflection and shared thinking: has the meaning and feeling of the word “we,” shaped in Ukrainian society by the experience of the beginning of the full-scale invasion, changed over the years of its continuation? What remains, in February 2026, of the radical “we” that emerged through a social pact in February 2022?

Free admission with prior registration.
The number of seats is limited.
