A special radio broadcast in frames of the public program of the National Pavillion of Ukraine at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.In 2019, Ukrainian artist Zhanna Kadyrova created the concrete sculpture The Origami Deer as a permanent public artwork for a park in Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine, on the site of a dismantled Soviet nuclear-capable aircraft. In August 2024, as the front line approached Pokrovsk and the civilian population began to evacuate, the sculpture was dismantled and relocated. Its journey has since become a symbol of displacement and resilience, echoing the fragile nature of peace and the unfulfilled security guarantees under the Budapest Memorandum under which Ukraine gave up its nuclear arsenal in 1996.
On March 14, to mark its stop in Berlin, the Origami Deer gathered people for a demo-rave in front of Kunstraum Bethanien.
In collaboration with daadgalerie and CTM Festival.
