Join artist Mykola Ridnyi in conversation online with filmmaker Emanuel Almborg alongside Ridnyi’s current solo exhibition, Mazepa’s Ride.
This is an online event, a Zoom link will provided upon registration.
Mazepa’s Ride unveils two new artworks that extend Ridnyi’s exploration of Ivan Mazepa’s contested legacy – a political and military leader of the Zaporozhian Sich and Left-bank Ukraine in the late-17th and early-18th century, whose story has been mythologised throughout European art and literature.
Together, Ridnyi and Almborg will explore complex social and political questions and form relationships between historical and contemporary events.
Emanuel Almborg is an artist based in Stockholm and London. His practice is primarily moving image-based and engages with pedagogy, psychology and theatre.
Mykola Ridnyi was born 1985 in Kharkiv, Ukraine. He lives and works in Berlin where he holds a guest professorship in the Lensbased class at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK).
