The exhibition “Sleepless: Ukrainian Illustrations of War” can be seen in Tübingen at Atelier / Café Haag (Vor dem Haagtor 1) until 23 February. Admission is free. The cinema pub opens 30 minutes before the start of the first film and closes at 11 pm on Mondays and Tuesdays, midnight on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 2 am on Fridays and Saturdays and 10 pm on Sundays.
The exhibition ends on Friday, 23 February. During the finissage, which begins at 6.30 pm, Afina Albrecht, board member of the Ukrainian Studio for Culture and Sport in Stuttgart and editor of the German-Ukrainian Magazine, and historian Matthäus Wehowski from the Hannah Arendt Institute at the University of Dresden will be holding a discussion. The Quichotte bookshop offers an overview of the most important literary works on the situation in Ukraine.
The drawings and illustrations show the experiences of Ukrainian women and men during the war. “The pictures in this series were created in the midst of an ongoing war,” says the text accompanying the exhibition. “Claiming to slow down time, they intend to capture memories and experiences that risk being lost as the relentlessly destructive war machine continues to accelerate events. These are images against war that call on us to remember and to act now,” writes Kateryna Mishchenko, one of the organisers of the exhibition, on the cinema’s website.
The exhibition was organised in cooperation with the Heinrich Böll Foundation, the Institute for Eastern European History and Regional Studies and the Slavic Seminar of the Eberhard Karls University as well as Atelier Kino/Cafe Haag.
