Oksana Mykhanko (Ukraine)
Residencies: 1.1.-31.3.2023
Designer and visual artist Oksana Mykhanko works mainly with graphics, she experiments with collages, textile, paintings, and digital art exploring identities through the prism of cultural heritage. The main theme of her works is architecture through which one can learn features and individualities of people in different regions, and their family history. In the residency, she continues working on her series of destroyed buildings of Ukraine, at the same time exploring Finland, her new place of residence, through her art.
Mykhanko’s residency is realised in context of the Ukraine Solidarity Residencies Programme. In 2023, the Ukraine Solidarity Residencies Programme is supported by Kone Foundation and Nordic Culture Point.
On Wednesday, March 29, from 6-8 pm, Oksana Mykhanko will present some of her work-in-progress at the OPEN STUDIO at Tapiola Guest Studio. Open studio event is an opportunity to meet the artist and hear about about her projects. Address: Tapiola Guest Studio, Nallenpolku 1 B, Espoo. Welcome!
