Yevheniia is an artist, implementer of cultural and social projects, author of educational and socio-cultural projects for teenagers, and Founder of the CSO ‘VIDLIK PROJECTS’, in Ukraine.
As an artist, Yevheniia has been engaged in documentary theatre for a number of years, creating performances on social and political topics. Her most significant works include: “Go away” – a documentary performance about the divorce of parents and the place of children in this process; “Party in Avdiivka” – a documentary performance about teenagers from a front-line city Avdiivka (Donetsk region), about their dreams and desires, about the context, in which they exist; and “City of Mary” – a documentary play about Ukrainian national identity, based on the story of two sisters from Mariupol.
Based on her previous experience, Yevhennia has used the fellowship to support VIDLIK PROJECTS to work with teenagers to document how the war has impacted the ‘streets’ they call home.
“Art does not change the world, but it can change people. We have been working with teenagers in small towns and villages in Ukraine through art. We teach how to create documentary performances, cinema, drama, and video art. In our projects, teenagers and young people have the opportunity to explore themselves and the world, form their own opinion and express it by creating an artistic product. In our projects, we work with socio-political topics. I am convinced that art and culture do not exist outside of politics but, on the contrary, are the basis for the development of civil society.” – Yevheniia VIDISHCHEVA
