“Circle of memory”. Exhibition of works by Volodymyr Loboda and Andriy Kisy

When: November 2, 5:00 p.m
Where: House of Franko (150 Ivan Franko Street)
Cost: admission is free

This exhibition was conceived by Andrii Kis, and Solomiya Loboda, Andrii’s wife and daughter of Volodymyr Loboda, had to implement it.
This is a commemorative exhibition of two artists: Volodymyr Loboda and Andriy Kis, who were connected by more than 30 years of friendship. It was the friendship of a teacher and a student. Friendship was different, sometimes with competition, but generally with love. The circle of our memory — around what these artists created — is our tangent to their work. The exhibition presents the works of Volodymyr Loboda: decoupage, sculpture and linocut, and the works of Andrii Kis: photography and a large collection of art albums.

The exposition consists of two parts:

The first one introduces us to one of Andriy’s studies — ancient cemetery sculpture. His love for naive sculpture through photography was realized in one of the books “Tear and Stone”.
The second part is an introduction to the diverse work of Volodymyr Loboda: decoupage, sculpture, which will be shown for the first time, and a series of linocuts from “The Great Journey to Ukraine”.

The play “Fear the Monster”

When: November 2, 4:00 p.m
Where: Lviv Academic Regional Puppet Theater (1 Danyla Halytskyi Square)
Cost: UAH 250

Each of us has met our own monster — these are fears and experiences that we often try to avoid or hide. But, surprisingly, these monsters can become our faithful friends, guides on the way to understanding our own emotions and accepting them.

In the form of interactive theater, children will be able to create their own “Monster” — the embodiment of their fear — and their own “Happiness”, which they will bring to life and try to understand through play. This experience will help to understand and name their emotions, which allows children to better cope with difficulties.
