« RADIO BRIDGE » Sense of Safety ~ international art project

“Sense of Safety” is an international art project highlighting the core exhibition of the same name in the YermilovCentre in Kharkiv, Ukraine surrounded by an open network of more than 20 cross-institutional events across 12 countries united as a “Bridges of Solidarity”. The project emerges from the urgent need to respond to the dire situation in Kharkiv, in North-East Ukraine, around 50 kilometers from the Russian border and subjected to daily shelling. The idea of the project is to emphasize Kharkiv as an important part of the global world, its cultural, scientific and political importance, to draw the whole world into Kharkiv and Kharkiv into the world by promoting the exchange of connections, information, togetherness and interdependency. The heart of the project was driven by the fact that in the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the YermilovCentre occasionally turned out to be a real shelter for the artistic community. Nevertheless, it has never ceased its professional activity.

The entire project is connected through the online platform, which serves as the information hub and navigation tool. This platform allows visitors at any of our dispersed event locations to explore the entire project, watch live video streams from the YermilovCentre, and view broadcasts from partner institutions. Visitors in Kharkiv and around the world can access information about any event or artwork and personally participate in hybrid online/offline workshops, lectures, and discussions. The online platform aims to create a communication network, reducing distances and fostering ongoing connections.
