The Rule of Two Walls
In wartime Ukraine, walls are not just structures – they symbolize protection, strength, and resistance. Safety becomes sacred. In a safe space, within the soft, open walls of CIVIC at HGK, this exhibition presents short films by Ukrainian filmmakers. The works explore life, identity, and civic diversity in Ukraine, where cultural identity is constantly evolving. What unites them is a shared urgency to create and the many ways of expressing Ukrainian reality.
