Lecture by Khrystyna Beregovska "30 Steps to Shevchenko"

ZAG invites you to the final event of the exhibition «HE: Taras Shevchenko. Artist» — an author's lecture by ZAG director and curator, Doctor of Art History, Professor of the National Academy of Arts of Ukraine Khrystyna Beregovska about the path to creating one of the largest exhibition projects in Ukraine.

«30 Steps to Shevchenko» — is a story about everything that remained behind the scenes: the first ideas, work with museum collections, complex negotiations, logistics, installation, curatorial decisions, doubts, challenges and unexpected discoveries.

How is a major exhibition born during the war? How to work with a figure that seems familiar to everyone, — and try to discover it anew? How to show Shevchenko not only as a symbol, but as a living artist and person?

During the lecture, Khrystyna Beregovska will share the story of the creation of the exhibition step by step — from the idea to the final space, which was seen by thousands of visitors.

This will be a conversation not only about Shevchenko, but also about the process of creating the exhibition itself — honest, living and often invisible to the viewer.
