Kyiv Architectural Guide – book presentation & talk

Exercising Modernity Academy – ‘We were/are the Future’
The third edition of the Exercising Modernity Academy was focusing on the ways in which modernising trends around the world envisage and design the future, including the concept of the new man, including the new man and the new woman, the new society, the new lifestyle or the new everyday order. ‘We were/are the Future‘ was the motto of last year’s Academy, directing the attention of its participants to issues related to 20th century ideas and visions of building a ‘new’ society, free from deep divisions, where the gap between the private life of an individual and the consequences resulting from industrialisation and technological development was to be bridged.
One of the study sessions took place in September 2021 in Gdynia.
Greetings from the Muranów and Miasteczko Wilanów housing estates. New settlement activism – Michalina Musielak
As part of the exhibition Greetings from the Muranów and Miasteczko Wilanów housing estates. New settlement activism, Michalina Musielak juxtaposes archival photographs depicting the stages of construction of the Muranów estate and Miasteczko Wilanów. The artist looks at what remains of their original concepts and to what extent both estates have changed under the influence of the activity and involvement of their inhabitants.
Daily choreographies – Daphna Noy
Daily Choreographies is an art project by Israeli visual artist and dancer Daphna Noy, for which a starting point is the relationship between humans and architecture. The photographic collages and video work created within the project address the question of how the material structure of everyday life sets rhythms and directions for collective and individual life.
