The Power of The Collective  (with a reflection by Yevgenia Belorusets and Oleksiy Makeev)

The collective can be both uplifting and deeply frightening. Lesia Khomenko builds on the vital power of the collective that is historically present in the Ukrainian social space, most recently manifested in the Maidan uprising and today’s effort of resistance, essentially energised by real relations between real people. This power can also result in sheer destruction, as shown in the bombing clouds by Oleksiy Say.
