Lesia Khomenko (from Kyiv, lives in Miami/USA): A Moment of Silence, 2023. Acrylic on canvas

They used to live in Ukraine. Now, uprooted from their homes, many find their lives in a state of flux, working here and living there. In an exhibition by Stadtmuseum Berlin created in collaboration with Ukrainian curator Valeria Schiller, ten Ukrainian artists respond to the question: “What does home mean?”

Entry
From 4^th to 15^th June, admission is free.

From 16^th June, tickets will also be valid for the special exhibition “Berliner Contrasts (2004-2015) – Photographs by Frank Silberbach and Nikolas von Safft” at Museum Ephraim-Palais.

The exhibition “Motherland” can be seen on the first floor of Museum Ephraim-Palais. The paintings, photographs and videos on exhibit were created in late 2022 against a backdrop of war and flight.

Berlin history can be experienced in special exhibitions on three floors.

They focus on the concept of ‘home’ from two different angles: as experienced reality, feelings of duty, and associations with a country on the one hand, and as subconscious wishes, fears, and longings on the other. By assembling expressions of these complicated and multifaceted relationships to ‘home’ and to ‘homeland’, the exhibition places this subjective lived experience within a global context.
