(Re)Grounding artists announcement
D6 and IZOLYATSIA are delighted to announce that artists Alexandra Krolikowska and Karolina Uskakovych have been selected for (Re)Grounding, our programme of research residencies exploring the climate emergency in post-industrial contexts.
(Re)Grounding is part of the UK/Ukraine Season of Culture devised jointly by the British Council and Ukrainian Institute. Following an incredibly competitive open call we are thrilled that Alexandra and Karolina will be artists in residence for the programme. We also thank all the artists that took time to apply to the open call.
The traumatic Russian invasion of Ukraine put a halt to our initial plans. But with our partners, we re-shaped the project, which was to have taken place in Soledar in the East of Ukraine, to invite Ukrainian artists to be in residence at D6’s studios in Newcastle in the North East of England.
We know the climate crisis spans social, political and environmental injustices that must be addressed to achieve a sustainable future. We are seeing these injustices play out in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which is deeply affecting the people and place, and destabilising global food and energy markets. We can see the climate crisis most impacting people with the least resources to tackle it. We can also look back to the global impact of the industrial revolution on the climate crisis today.
(Re)Grounding takes these interconnections, asking what must be done to bring about the drastic change needed to limit the increase in rising temperatures. The programme includes two research residencies and an exhibition connecting practice, heritage and communities between the UK and Ukraine.
