Yulia Krivich (Dnipro) is a visual artist, activist, and curator. Her practice is based on a post-artistic approach and community-building activities. Yulia is a co-founder of the Solidarity Community Center „Sunflower” in the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw as well as a member of the Soniakh Digest team, a digital platform that researches current infowar and contemporary geopolitics from the perspective of Eastern Europe.
Yulia participated in numerous international projects and exhibitions in Ukraine, Poland, and internationally. In 2022 she took part in the Ukrainian program at Documenta 15 and, together with the Sunflower Community Center team, received a nomination for Paszport Polityki, an award that recognizes artistic achievements in Poland. Yulia's works are in the public collection of the ING Art Foundation and in various private collections. In her work, she explores issues related to identity, using elements of activism and collective practices while examining her own position as a migrant. Her interests include topics related to language, migration, and postcolonial theory.
Description: After the Revolution of Dignity and Russia's occupation of Ukrainian territories in 2014, it seemed that Ukraine suddenly appeared on the map of Europe. One thing that began to bother me personally, as a Ukrainian and a visual artist, in those millions of images flowing from the hands of photographers from various countries, was the "exoticizing moment" - to paraphrase the terminology of photography. Most of these works contained an exploitative nature until Ukraine was "hot news." At the same time, it built a certain narrative of what Ukraine is in their eyes. Later this evolved into visual culture and art. "Raw and wild," "post-soviet chic" became a certain trend, which can certainly be called the "Western gaze on Eastern Europe".
