It is our pleasure to invite you at 12 AM on May 11th, 2017 for the press conference at “UKRINFORM” (hall 1, 8/16 Bogdana Khmelnitskogo str., Kyiv) dedicated to the opening of the exhibition “Ukrainian Insights” featuring artworks by world-renowned Ukrainian contemporary artists Victor Sydorenko, Oleg Tistol, Mykola Matsenko and Valentin Popov.
The opening of the “Ukrainian
Insights” exhibition will take place at the United Nations Headquarters in New
York on May 16th and will be proceeded by a dialogue
with best-selling author Timothy Snyder who will discuss his best selling book,
“On Tyranny,” as well as vital discussions and expert personal insights about
Ukraine and other critically relevant East European concerns. Mr. Snyder is a
professor of history at Yale University who is recognized as one of the world’s
leading authorities in international relations.
Ukraine’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Volodymyr Yelchenko, invited guest Timothy Snyder, and the exhibited artists will all be attending the opening day events.
Sydorenko, Tistol, Matsenko and Popov present their creative pursuits through a modern worldview perspective. Their works deliver an aesthetic, ideological, philosophical message that defines Ukraine’s national, political and cultural identity.
"Ukrainian Insights" is the embodiment of creative ideas, using the spirit of past experiences to expose insights into the future.
