"Alex Fisher concludes his six-part essay series “Kindling”, in which he highlighted positions and perspectives from Ukrainian contemporary art for V/A over the past few weeks. Starting with encounters, observations, and printed matter at the book market in Lviv, this final article follows the work of the artists Dana Kavelina and Yaroslav Futmyskyi, who both have ties to the city. Their bodies of work not only raise the question of the cultural afterlife of the conflict and wounds of the past – and to which reiteration these events are further subjected to –, it also poses the question of where the journey may go and what lies ahead, while the war in Ukraine goes on."
