If you are in Budapest this weekend....

WHAT'S 'LEFT' IN UKRAINE? Public Talk and Open Discussion Date: Saturday, May 31 Time: 4:00pm-6:00pm Location: Kisüzem, Kis Diófa utca 2, Budapest Much confusion surrounds the recent turmoil in Ukraine. As a political crisis continues to engulf the country, what is really happening on the ground and what will become of Ukraine remains to be seen. This event will offer a critical analysis of these current developments, bringing together activists, scholars and community members. In searching for an alternative critique of the Ukrainian situation, the hope is to offer a radical intervention into the current mainstream coverage, bringing to light both what will be left of Ukraine, as well as what can be said of the Left in Ukraine, in the aftermath of this political upheaval. Speakers: Prof. Don Kalb Volodymyr Artukh Margaryta Rymarenko This is a community public talk, open to all and with the aim of encouraging discussion and awareness about current affairs and politics. The language of the talk will be English, with Hungarian translation available if needed.

The name of Maria Pryimachenko (1908-1997) became known to the world in the mid-1930s. At the World Exhibition in Paris, the Ukrainian artist was awarded the gold medal for surprising the whole artistic world with her paintings. Among those who got to know her art work were Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, and Louis Aragon. When Picasso saw her paintings, he immediately admitted that, if Pryimachenko lived in France, she would be more famous than him. Text Source.

(Muirigil’s Dream posted another selection of Pryimachenko’s work back in November 2012)

Metro Escalator, Kiev, Ukraine

The metro in Kiev follows a standard Soviet triangle three line, six radii, layout that intersects in the centre where the stations are built very deep underground and could potentially double as bomb shelters. The station Arsenalna is the deepest in the world, at 105.5 meters.
