Among them:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Anna Zvyagintsev<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a (Kyiv) and <\/span><b>Mark Chegodaev<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Vienna) completed <\/span><b>Self-Portrait<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a study of security spaces through the images of everyday objects, and the processes of their destruction and restoration.

The part of the project that is based on photographic practices and implemented by Alina Kleitman is in progress. The artistic dialogue in this work focuses on the patterns of imperialist behavior and their obsessive reproduction in classical museum exhibitions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>In March 2025, a guide-zine and video instructions for planting <b>Situational Flowerbeds<\/b><span>: practices of commemoration and coexistence in loss through gardening will be released.

This space took place in a series of closed meetings of the program participants. While we are aware of the interest in the \u2018results\u2019 of these meetings, they were not planned as meetings with an agenda and a set of common decisions, but as a space for (relatively) safe and open conversation. Therefore, we cannot share either the \u2018outcomes\u2019 or the process, but rather quote the feedback of several participants:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;For me, the most important thing that happened in the program was an attempt to talk. Some things, questions, uncertainties, and disputes change their qualities if they are voiced. If you do not maintain connections, they disintegrate by themselves due to distance and time, so an attempt to create conditions for dialogue is very valuable.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;There is no common trauma, no language, no solidarity. To some extent, a scattered and traumatized (in different ways) social landscape has emerged. And this landscape is not divided only into \u201chere\u201d and \u201cthere\u201d.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, I think that something very cool and important happened, but so far I can only describe it as mutual exchange.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;There was a dialogue, but no related action.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;There was no acceptance of all the participants of the group and their views on certain issues.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;There is an impression that something did not happen, yes.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;As if no one nailed anyone (yay).&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the curators of the program, Yaroslav Futimsky, said: &#8220;The Scattered Communities is a space full of different possibilities, some of which have happened, some of which are still unfolding and stretching, some of which have already been forgotten or postponed. A wide geography full of differences and emotionality, recognition but also rejection, repetition and forgetting, untimely or reactionary. I repeat after Alona Karavai: this is a window of opportunity that still exists, in difficult times, in wide geography, between poisoned landscapes and mutilated landscapes, next to the (in)possibilities of language and the weaknesses of art. I thank the participants for their attentiveness and mutual support, for their emotionality and (un)comfort, for what was outlined, and for the words (out of) sight, for what was done and what will remain \u2018in process\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Communication in the dispersed community was established through the mobility program.
