Orgasmagoria, een film van Dries Verhoeven

In Lullaby, Ukrainian artist and architect Daria Khozhai explores how people try to find protection and security when the familiar falls away. With an installation created especially for Brutus Art Space, she brings the intimacy of a domestic environment to the industrial spaces of Brutus. The Dutch translation of Lullaby is 'slaaplied': one of the first ways in which we offer each other comfort and safety. A lullaby cannot take away danger, but it does make us feel that we are not alone. From that tension, Lullaby explores the meaning of care, memory, loss and resilience. The war in Ukraine has profoundly changed Khozhai's view of home and safety, but the installation explores a broader human experience: how do we find a foothold again when our sense of home disappears? Around the exhibition, Brutus, together with VATAHA and Ukrainian House Rotterdam, is organising a public programme about Ukrainian traditions, identity and memory, with live-sung lullabies, a workshop and a zine project.
