Disturbed Ground: A collaboration by Kyiv's ∄ and CTM Festival bringing together Ukrainian and international artists responding to the ecological consequences of war in Ukraine.

Two new commissioned audiovisual works:

"The Core" by Khrystyna Kirik and Mark Bain uses seismic data recorded during missile strikes, environmental phenomena, and daily baseline readings, translating violence into vibration and sound. Five acts descend from surface into the depths of ground. Rather than hardening in response to trauma, it asks: what does the land feel, and can we learn to feel with it?

"Heavy Waters" by undo despot, Zeynep Schilling, and alen hast + myk rudik explores the layered life of Ukrainian rivers - from mythical entities to industrial assets to sites affected by war. Waters hold memory, trauma and loss that settle beneath the surface.

Plus: Vartan Markarian's video work "Horizons of Disappearance."
