On September 11th everyone had a chance to see Olha Kuzyura art through the eyes of artist. The Artist Talk took place within the ST•H Gallery project "Presentation Ukrainian artists on XII Florence biennale" that is realized with support by Ukrainian Cultural Foundation.
Conversations about material, techniques, theme, about tribute to destroyed objects and energy that it brings through time with Olga opened a wide world of new creative ideas to the audience.
