Office Ukraine presents the exhibition Kaleidoscope – Maybe Displaced but Still Connected at Parallel Vienna, inviting Ukrainian artists currently in Ukraine and those living in other EU countries due to the war.

Office Ukraine's contribution to Parallel Vienna revolves around the perspective of interconnection. Artists and cultural practitioners from Ukraine, who due to the Russian large-scale war of aggression and their subsequent flight to other countries are now scattered in various countries, are building their practice in different environments maintaining relations with each other. Displaced yet connected they are still influenced by the same elements of experience – war, distraction, and entanglement with both the country they left and the country they are in now.

The title is a metaphor for diverse perspectives, interpretations of reality, and life directions. Some works present narratives that mirror each other in tactile similarities and disrupted cultural contexts. Others Illustrate the meaning and relevance of having strong connections.
