| Abstrakt: |
This abridged chapter from the book Superfluous Women: Art, Feminism, and Revolution in Twenty-First Century Ukraine provides a historical and theoretical context for the arts in Ukraine concerning concepts of freedom of expression, in particular among generations who emerged in the 2000s and the years leading to 2022. The author considers “intergenerational” transmissions of memory of twentieth-century wars and revolutions, in particular in those cases when the great “myths” of the Soviet past are challenged and reinvented in aesthetic experiments conducted within the post-revolutionary (post-Maidan 2013) public sphere, aimed at exposing and overturning antidemocratic rule, systematic corruption, and censorship in recent decades.
