Cross Section

Cross Section, a series of physical encounters taking place on Triokhsviatytelska Street in Kiev, starting from the Ukrainian House and heading towards the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

 

The route is an urban corridor connecting two significant geopolitical points in the city.

Along this route, Public Movement local cell performed moments of resistance, compassion, joy and conflict. Cross Section included scattered ceremonies, exercises of citizenship, and manifestations of power and of vulnerability. Over the course of the previous year, the streets of Kiev have inhabited different types of cooperation, order and disorder have inhabited the streets. Cross Section offered a temporal structure of physical memory to be experienced together in public, a ritual that disappears while it happens, echoing the the nature of events that are still unfolding.

The public was invited to join and experience various modes of civic behavior, and to embody political and existential, social, personal positions.

Cross Section includes excerpts from the actions: "Also Thus!" and "Positions" that were created by Omer Krieger and Dana Yahalomi
