By incorporating investigative, research-based, and documentary artistic practices, the Kyiv Perennial engages the multi-layered realities of war. The artistic and discursive contributions address the social and political polarization in European societies, ecological destruction caused by military conflict, decolonial tendencies in contemporary Eastern European culture and politics, as well as war trauma, flight and displacement. The Berlin edition of the Kyiv Biennial commences with a three-day opening weekend: On February 23, the Kyiv Perennial opens at nGbK on Alexanderplatz, two further openings follow at Between Bridges and nGbK Hellersdorf on February 24 and 25. The fourth part of the exhibition opens with a symposium organized by Prater Galerie in May 2024. *With contributions by* App Annus, Zuzanna Czebatul, Franziska Davies, De Ne De, Jan Tomasz Gross, Yuriy Hrytsyna, Kateryna Iakovlenko, Nikita Kadan, Alex King and Angelika Ustymenko, Yana Kononova, Daria Kozlova and Arwina Afsharnejad, Phil Langer, Kateryna Lysovenko, Yarema Malashchuk and Roman Khimei, Yurko Prokhasko, Mykola Ridnyi, Vladyslav Ryaboshtan, Yassin al-Haj Saleh, Anton Shebetko, Bohdan Shumylovych, The Center for Spatial Technologies, The Reckoning Project, Darya Tsymbalyuk, and many more.
