Exhibition of the Museum of Ukrainian Victory opened in Odesa

The interactive exhibition "Museum of the Ukrainian Victory: Meanings" opened at the Museum of the House of Officers of the Ukrainian Navy in Odesa on June 6.

Yana Boytsova, head of the Pixelated Realities NGO and curator of the exhibition, told Intent that the Museum of Ukrainian Victory has traveled the world before.

"In fact, objects from this collection, more than 30 of them, have already visited almost all continents. We have provided them for exhibitions in Tokyo, England, Harvard University in the United States, and many in Europe - Luxembourg, Germany, and Italy. For the first two years, this project was primarily interesting abroad, but we always wanted to show it in Odesa," says Yana Boytsova.

She is sure that for Odesa residents the exhibition is a place for reflection, because everything is changing too fast and the exhibition aims to make people look back and decide what needs to be preserved now.

The exhibition is built around one simple question: what will we preserve? Not as a declaration, but as an open conversation - through nine 3D documentary works, an installation, video art and a white grand piano that has become a symbol of a new culture that sprouts from the wreckage of the old.

The exhibition unfolds in three dimensions of experience:

• Time - Odesa monuments in protective bags as symbols waiting to be reinterpreted.
• Action - a Kharkiv truck and a Mykolaiv trolleybus as evidence of the incredible solidarity of people.
• The place - the destroyed houses of Borodyanka and Odesa, the loss of which changes us and our understanding of home.

Themuseum will be open on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays by appointment on the website of the organization "Pixelated Realities" from 14:00 to 17:00 on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and on Saturdays from 10:00 to 17:00. The exhibition will stay in Odesa until July 25.
