Winter Fest: Counterpoint with Ukraine is a multidisciplinary program focusing on the interdependency and celebration of cultures and experiences. The program includes new works and brand-new collaborations between Ukrainian and American artists; 'Magura,' a dance performance by Alina Sokulska; classics of Ukrainian magic realism cinema such as Sergei Parajanov's Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors; and an exhibition of Lesia Khomenko's "Undefined Figures."

 

Through music, art, dance, and film, we display sacred practices of ancient culture, intimate and fragile instants, love, dreams, aspirations — pieces of our life worth fighting for. Men in pixel uniforms—the Armed Forces of Ukraine—protecting these and making it possible to create the festival.
