On “The School of Kyiv – Kyiv Biennial 2015” and the exhibition “Against the Covert War in Ukraine” at the Academy of the Arts of the World, Cologne

Some friends of us and our colleagues have been asking if we are taking part in these coming events (PHONE CALLS FROM THE CEMETERY AND OTHER STORIES and The School of Kyiv – Kyiv Biennial 2015. No we do not. And we have not refused from participation. Just in opposite – we are very glad that these projects are taking place. Both projects are very close to the main topic of our artistic work in last year (the issues of emancipatory education, the war in Ukraine, the possibilities for radical school etc.) and we are looking forward to see many new voices and positions dedicated to these urgent issues which are so important for us. And of course we are very glad to see a few participants and initiatives which cooked inside of our School of Engaged Art.

We wish a good luck to all participants and we definitely study and try to develop the lines of this important projects in the suffocating Russian situation and not only.
