There Are No Bridges
R&D Workshops
2025

A series of research and development workshops on Ukrainian folk art and commemorative practice. There Are No Bridges was a street performance by Hromada Collective, done on the demonstration, dedicated to the third anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. It is based on 'Telegrams', a zine by Xenia Havrylova which recalls Ukrainian experiences of the beginning of the full scale invasion through messages sent on the Telegram app.

The R&D's took participants through the process of creating the original project and developing new work, using a multidisciplinary workshop style which involved singing, collage, writing, and at every point, openness and discussion.

Supported by Old Diorama Arts Centre
