'Message of solidarity': Barbara Kruger to unveil new text work on Ukrainian train
Briefly

On May 1, renowned US artist Barbara Kruger will reveal her new typographic work, "Untitled (Another Again)," on a Ukrainian passenger train. This initiative, curated by Maria Isserlis, is inspired by historical agit-trains from the 1920s. The artwork, written in Ukrainian to ensure accessibility, serves as a symbol of solidarity for Kruger. Ukrainian Railways, collaborating with RIBBON International, sees this as a creative means to convey resilience and unity amid ongoing conflict. The exhibition runs from May 1 to July 14, traveling across significant Ukrainian cities with accompanying contextual information.
Maria Isserlis notes that the initiative draws inspiration from Vasyl Yermylov's agit-trains of the 1920s, which spread Soviet-era propaganda across rural Ukraine.
Oleksandr Pertsovskyi expresses excitement about collaborating with Barbara Kruger, emphasizing that Ukrainian Railways aims to convey messages of solidarity and resilience through art.
