Underground Garden 13. 12. 2024 – 31. 12. 2024
A unique collection of works titled Underground Garden was created over the past several months by the young artists of Aza Nizi Maza, a children’s art studio based in Kharkiv. The artists’ works invite us to reflect on the significance of gardens during times of war and ponder how joy and hope can persist even in the darkest of circumstances, drawing on rich connections to European art traditions.
Despite the ongoing daily shelling in Kharkiv, the children continue to create remarkable artworks in their basement studio. For many of them, this event marks their first journey outside Ukraine. They will personally present their creations at the opening.
The exhibition is organized by the filmmakers’ collective I AM UKRAINIAN, who are currently working on a documentary about Aza Nizi Maza. The event is made possible with the support of Prague Public Transit Company, Prague City Council, Prague City Gallery, the Embassy of Ukraine, USAID, Nova Ukraine, and If Not Now Then When.
