Through both historic and contemporary frameworks, the programme seeks to further contextualise the idea of โ€˜Middle East Europe.โ€™ The notion, which is central to this edition of the Kyiv Biennial, is analyzed through the post-socialist experience โ€“ meaning, on the one hand, failed attempts at constructing modern utopias and painful political, ideological and economic transformations; and on the other, the strong cultural exchanges and state-animated โ€œfriendshipsโ€ between, for example, former Socialist Block and Middle East nations in the 20th century.
Todayโ€™s reactionary tendencies towards nationalist and fascist movements, together with human rights crises, genocides and wars, expose the frailty of our democratic systems rooted in profit-based alliances. In consideration of this, the programme gathers artists, curators, researchers and collectives who hail from regions widely known as Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia, offering a space for interrogation of the institutions and frameworks that have led us to this current geopolitical environment and the initiatives that have flourished as a result. The programme presents a spectrum of organisational forms โ€“ from individual grassroots projects and community centres to research endeavours that examine historical expressions of solidarity, friendship and allyship.

It aims to be a catalyst for lasting relationships and fresh alliances that when woven together, reveal a rich ecosystem of resistance, care, and vision, and embodies the notion of solidarity as a commitment to risk with and to stand beside.
