EuroMaidan and the war in Donbas have played an instrumental role in the development of contemporary Ukrainian art. The tragic events forced a new generation of artists to reflect on recent trauma and tragic events in Ukraine’s history. For example, artists have begun to pay more attention to state and personal archives, Ukraine’s postindustrial heritage, and ecology in recent decades. This generation has built new forms of collectivity, solidarity, and support for artists and other representatives, such as soldiers, immigrants, emigrants, workers, etc. Through their art, they create intellectual discussions about Ukrainian society and its possible future.
