The Futuromarennia: Ukraine and Avant-Garde exhibition provides revealing insight into Ukrainian avant-garde art, which aspired to modernise society. Radical dreams of the future found moving expression in painting, stage design, architecture, literature and cinema. The works of Oleksandra Ekster, Davyd Burliuk and Vasyl Yermylov come from museums that have continued working, even under constant Russian attacks. The exhibition lays the groundwork for a critical post-colonial reassessment of the history of both the Western and Russian avant-garde, highlighting the numerous aspects of Ukrainian artistic life and its connections with international developments during the first decades of the 20th century.
