SENSE OF SAFETY @ ZKM. A Bridge of Solidarity with the YermilovCentre in Kharkiv
ZKM, in collaboration with the International Coalition of Cultural Workers in Solidarity with Ukraine, continues their enduring partnership that began in 2022 with the conference "When Language Is Lost: Possibilities of Art in the Face of War."
This exhibition is part of Bridges of Solidarity, with Kharkiv's YermilovCentre hosting the core of the international art project Sense of Safety. Central to the project is the redefined concept of safety—reshaped by the war in Ukraine. It examines safety not just as a feeling but as an infrastructure of care, sustained through communication and collective efforts by individuals, communities, and institutions.
By presenting diverse perspectives on safety, the exhibition aims to strengthen ties between Kharkiv and the global community, bridging distances and demonstrating solidarity. Today's display at ZKM features an expanded iteration of the exhibition from Kharkiv's YermilovCentre. Here, video works from Kharkiv are shown alongside live streams, fostering a dialogue between Kharkiv and the world.
