A core initiative of RIBBON International, Faktura 10 is a multimodal program that reflects upon an emerging landscape of cultural discourse in Ukraine. It focuses on artist practices evolving within the immediacies of the war and its aftermath. Faktura 10 is conceived of ten events in the form of exhibitions, performances, plays, screenings, research projects, and discussions to be held throughout 2025, taking place within Ukraine, as well as within communities and cities of solidarity internationally.

For the 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, the Pavilion of Ukraine unveils DAKH (ДАХ): Vernacular Hardcore.

The curatorial focus of our exhibition lies on the human-geographical concept of the “Sense of Place.” In general, this refers to the emotional attachment and connection that people develop or experience in relation to specific places and particular environments. The term encompasses both positive associations of comfort, security, and well-being, as well as negative feelings such as fear, dysphoria, and placelessness that can arise from a place or a home. Within the framework of the exhibition, the “Sense of Place” is applied freely yet directly to the context of Ukraine and serves as a connecting thread between all the works on display. In this way, the exhibited pieces enter into dialogue with one another, raising questions about the relationship to home and cultural values, the transformation of history and the present, and the definition of both individual and collective identities.

Projects from different fields, including art, fashion, production, etc.
