The idea of ​​the project "Supernova. Art of Ukraine" is in the birth of the new from the old, since everything that is immersed into the nonlinear flow of time is constantly changing and being redefined. In response to the horrific events and extreme tragedies, supernova explodes – a star formed from our voices, our pain, and our courage. This phenomenon originates deeply within the bowels of luminaries, and then it breaks out illuminating all the objects on the skyline. Ukrainian society is now outliving a terrible trauma of the war and fighting for its independence. Nevertheless, many bright light rays emerge on this dark background. This is our dawn, and this is just the beginning.
