They lived in Ukraine, now they partly change their places of living, work here, live there. Commissioned by the Stadtmuseum Berlin and in collaboration with the Ukrainian curator Valeria Schiller, ten Ukrainian artists ask themselves: What does home mean?

The exhibition "Motherland" can be seen on the second floor of the Museum Ephraim-Palais. The paintings, photographs and videos, created at the end of 2022, are set in the current context of flight and war - and focus on the concept of "homeland".

This is thematized in two ways in the special exhibition: On the one hand, it is about experienced reality, feelings of duty and imprints associated with the country; on the other hand, subconscious wishes, fears and longings are expressed. In doing so, the exhibition succeeds in placing the major theme of "homeland" from an individual perception into a global context.

Participating artists: Kateryna Aliinyk, Julia Beliaeva, Yuriy Biley, Nikolay Karabinovych, Lesia Khomenko, Kateryna Lysovenko, Krystyna Melnyk, Alina Sokolova, Zhenia Stepanenko, Anna Zvyagintseva

Note: The special exhibition is accessible in German, English and Ukrainian.
For the entire duration of the special exhibition and at all locations of the Stadtmuseum Berlin, admission is free for all people with a Ukrainian passport, a residence permit from Ukraine or a valid student ID from a Ukrainian university and a residence permit in Germany - as well as for anyone with an electronic residence permit (eAT).
