CAPA VISA public talk

How war affects photography
Any artistic practice exists in the socio-political field and reflects changes in history and society. Through the analysis of art projects, we can trace the dynamics of change in any country. For the example of Ukraine, we will look at how the visual language has changed under the influence of Russian aggression. We will get acquainted with the acute artists working in Ukraine and the approaches that have been formed over the past two years. It is a process from chaos to adaptation, from documentation to analysis, from contemplation to active position.
