Yarema Malashchuk & Roman Khimei, “Pedagogies of War”

The museum and TBA21 Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary are presenting Pedagogies of War, an exhibition by the young Ukrainian artists Roman Khimei and Yarema Malashchuk which explores how Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has reshaped the public space. Working with surveillance footage from Kyiv, the winners of the Curatorial Prize at OFFSCREEN Paris show how everyday rhythms and democratic structures fracture through the violence and material pressures of war. The artists’ work exposes the fragility of peace, the beauty of emergency situations, and the uneasy coexistence of forgetting and remembering, reminding us that the connections of conflict – political, emotional and territorial – shape identity as powerfully as geography.
