!!! About the Project !!!
EXISTENCE IS RESISTANCE is a collaborative critical art project curated by Louis Armand, Kasia Bazarnik, Lyana Mytsko, Sandra Pasławska, Tyko Say, Marta Sloboda, David Vichnar.
In the face of war, genocide & other existential forms of oppression, the refusal to be “erased” may represent the ultimate act of resistance, in the awareness that NOTHING ELSE NEED BE EXPECTED OF IT. In this sense the cultural “front” is truly a grey zone, lending ethical impetus to a resistance that is no longer obliged to be FOR something; it is sufficient that it IS.
!!! About the book !!!

!!! About the film !!!
"Existence is Resistance" highlights how culture, activism, and collective expression have become vital in preserving the momentum to resist amidst the destruction of war. Filmed in the historic city of Lviv, the documentary captures the stories of artists, curators, musicians, and activists who are using culture as a tool for resistance. From performance festivals to underground punk shows, Existence is Resistance explores the many ways that existence and resistance intertwine in times of crisis.
