Maria Patsyuk

“Since the Russia’s full-scale military invasion of Ukraine began on 24th of February, we have focused on the language of war embedded in everyday discourse. How war grows out of the social and changes it.
For example how we use militaristic metaphors in communication, in love relationships. How ideas of war, domination, and conflict appear in everyday life. We are also constantly looking for the tools with which people divided by different experiences and opinions related to the current war can communicate.
And we do it through our work, being divided ourselves, living in different places with an urge to keep looking for different ways of working together from a distance. Our research method is based on the magic of communication, deep talking and improvisation and includes walks, instructions, collecting observations, texts and experiences as well as interventions into the real.”
