The modernist movement in Ukraine unfolded against a backdrop of revolutions, the fight for independence, and the eventual establishment of Soviet Ukraine.

Despite such profound upheaval, this was a period of bold artistic experimentation.

In the Eye of the Storm: Modernism in Ukraine, 1900–1930s opens to the public on 29 June. See it first on your Friends preview days, taking place 26, 27 and 28 June.
