 Hi. Hello. My name is Sasha Kurmas and I'm an artist from Kyiv, from Ukraine. Thanks to the CAC Art Links team for inviting me to this stage. And thank you for everybody who comes to this art center. So I would like to present you one piece, this one, that was done in Kyiv seven years ago. So in 2012, through a corruption scheme, at Cyprus-based company, Afidreco Holdings, appropriated Hostenidvir, a huge now classical building and the nearby public space around the city, in the historical part of the city. So doing so with intention to turn it into another sleek shopping mall. In the past, Hostenidvir has played host to public libraries, theatres, small shops, cheap cafes and common spaces shared by students, artists, writers and intellectuals. When illegal privatization ran too far and the brutal reconstruction of the building started, a group of activists asked me to help them create some visual work in public space that can attract public attention to this issue. So we decided to pay the red line around the perimeter of the building, also include posters with information about the planet destruction of the historical monument. The courtyard was occupied by activists and for a few months it has become a platform for social experiment. It was a squat and art space, it was community center and it was civil protest at the same time. A new community around Hostenidvir turned it into a honey pie for right-wing leaders. Unlike the regular protestors, young right-wing activists were trying to convert this successful grassroots protest into symbolical and political capital for their new and quickly expanding party. The participation of right-wing activists split the community and community of Hostenidvir, community of protestors and many protestors left the courtyard. The developer used this moment and with the help of paramilitary guards, the rest of protestors were kicked out of Hostenidvir. A green construction fence has grown around the perimeter, retracing the same path as the red line took before. The story of Hostenidvir is about polyphony of urban voices. Also it's a good example that protest doesn't always been even using art and culture for that. So the activists lost the battle and lost the building, but the war is still going on. Thank you very much.
