ABOUT THE LECTURE
Nadiya Chushak obtained a PhD in anthropology at the University of Melbourne (Australia). Her research deals with the subject of nostalgia and politics of memory. Industrial architecture in the state of decay often confuses us; what can one do with it? The lecture tells about different ways of utilizing the industrial architecture in international context, from the critique of commodification and abstract aestheticization of such buildings to re-evaluation of nostalgic sentiments they sometimes evoke.
This project is made possible with the support of the Human Rights Fund of the Netherlands Embassy in Ukraine
