Cultural hybridity, identity negotiation, and contested language politics, are all hallmarks of transitional experiences affecting postcolonial societies. Examining major works of literature produced in Ukraine during the first two decades after independence, this pioneering study situates the post-independence literary process within a grid of specific contexts, focusing especially on how regionalism, gender and language issues, as well as social marginalization and popular culture, are reflected in literary works following the collapse of the Soviet empire.

Opening Reception | Cover: Paintings by Aaron Nagel


The show introduces the artist's newest direction of combining figures with folds of fabric. Nagel states, "As a figurative artist, I've always had a fractious relationship with clothing. My concern is with the body, with creating mood. Clothes always seemed like a needless complication - and I know nothing about fashion. Somewhere along the way, though, I discovered that clothing, or more simply fabric, can have its own body and mood. It can cover, and it can interact."

Opening Reception | Figurative Paintings by Australian Artist Cameron Hayes


The paintings evoke the phantasmagoric worlds of Bruegel, but his scenes address the contemporary world. The paintings, some as large as 6’ x 8’, are visually complex, depicting groups of manic figures in absurd scenarios. Hayes’ vision of the human condition is comic and bleak, yet laced with poignance. The detailed paintings reward a close reading.
