Discussion in Lviv

Vision of the future as reflected in contemporary art

Discussion in Lviv

How contemporary artists envision the future? Is there a risk of losing the concept of intellectual property as a result of rapid advancement of technologies? How can/should the art-related institutions shape the future in their communities? Should art be responsible and what it means? How is the concept of the future reflected in the Ukrainian art?

The main question we address is what young people actually think about the future? How are these visions and feelings reflected in the artistic works of new and, little known artists?
