main goal of the fund is to offer support to people residing in the country and
to provide them with immediate financial relief under the conditions of war,

Programme
20:00 Introduction and welcome
20:10 Talk: Media Witnessing in times of crisis by Florian Göttke
20:40 Filmscreening curated by Serge Klymko, the founder of the Emergency
Support Initiative. 90’
The screening will feature a series of recent works by moving image artists
based in Ukraine. All of the works have been created in the past two months;
giving a raw and immediate insight into the filmmakers’ current practices. The
works provide an intimate portrayal of individuals and groups caught up in
bureaucracy and war.
The films remind us of the importance of filmmaking in times of crisis and the
necessity to make visible and keep traces as acts of resistance. They blatantly
show the political dimensions of film and visual culture and the potential of
artists’ moving image practices as a medium of communicating, relating, and
knowing.

HomeCinema is a video broadcasting platform for moving image works by young and
emerging artists, created by Carmen Dusmet Carrasco and Andrea Gonzále.
Florian Göttke is a visual artist, researcher, and writer based in Amsterdam.
He combines visual modes of research (collecting, close reading, and image
montage) with academic research to investigate the functioning of public images
and their relationship to social memory and politics. Göttke has exhibited
internationally, has written articles for academic journals and art
publications. His book Toppled, an iconological study of the toppled statues of
Saddam Hussein, was nominated for the Dutch Doc Award 2011.
Göttke obtained a PhD Artistic Research at the University of Amsterdam and the
Dutch Art Institute in 2019. His dissertation entitled “Burning Images:
Performing Effigies as Political Protest” investigates the peculiar practice to
hang or burn effigies—scarecrow-like puppets representing despised
politicians—as a form of political protest. His dissertation, which will be
published at the end of 2020 with Valiz, Amsterdam, combines two discursive
narratives: a linear text and a parallel assemblage of images. Image narrative
and text are like the two voices in a musical composition, each in turn taking
the lead to introduce themes, structure the work, direct the reader, set tempo
and rhythm, halt the attention or accelerate the flow.
Serge Klymko has been a practicing curator, cultural manager, researcher, and
writer working on the intersection of visual and performative art, music, and
urban ecosystems research over the last 10 years. In the last 5 years, he has
curated a number of cultural and art projects in Barcelona, Geneva, Karlsruhe,
Kyiv, Prague, Tbilisi, Vienna, and Warsaw working with a wide range of artists
and theoreticians. Serge is one of the organizers of Kyiv Biennial, an
international forum for art, knowledge, and politics that integrates
exhibitions and discussion platforms. From the beginning of the war, he founded
ESI – Emergency Support Initiative <https://esi.kyivbiennial.org/en> launched
to help the Ukrainian artistic community under unprecedented conditions. MA in
Cultural Studies, based in Kyiv, Ukraine.
About Tactical Media Room
The Tactical Media Room (TMR) is an initiative of Waag Futurelab and Institute

researchers in The Netherlands, TMR aims to support independent tactical media,
journalists, newsrooms and civic initiatives from Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus.
As a temporary Amsterdam-based platform, TMR brings together different forms of
expertise in the fields of journalism, media activism, arts, and research. A
group of currently fourty members addresses topics and activities that vary
from Russian disinformation, censorship and propaganda research to mapping
platform geopolitics, support regarding hardware and online services by ISP’s
and hosting providers, tech knowledge exchanges (from satellite phones to cyber
security), and practical aid support.
