#AllaHorska's 1960s home & meeting place for Ukrainian Artists
Not born into #UkrainianCulture, #AllaHorska chose it. Daughter of the #SovietElite, she was an #Artist & #SovietDissident associated with the 1960s #UkrainianUnderground & #Sixtier movements, a generation who reawakened Ukrainian nationalism within the #SovietIntelligentsia. For this she was killed, aged 41. Her life: resistance in colour. Her death: #PoliticalAssassination

#AllaHorska’s #Mosaics have been systematically targeted & destroyed by Soviet authorities as an act of #CulturalErasure since her murder in 1970. Marked a ‘Ukrainian Bourgeois Nationalist’ most of her #Kyiv work is gone. In #Mariupol, leaders hid mosaics #LifeTree & #Kestrel to save them, but the fate of #BannerOfVictory in the East is uncertain #AllaHorskaMosaic #UkrainianArt
