Questions in Ukrainian and Russian can also be answered, with the assistance of a translation service.

Opening the exhibition of paintings by Ukrainian artist Oksana Kornienko
On 24 February 2022, the whole world changed for every Ukrainian... Two women's destinies. Two friends. Poet and artist. For one - month of occupation, for another - a month under shelling and bombing... It so happened that fleeing the war, they found refuge in a wonderful, peaceful European country. When everything seems to be fine, but one of these days you are looking for news from Ukraine and it is impossible to forget even for a moment, even in beautiful Brussels. You have to do something. Do at least what you can ... Create paintings, poems... This is how this tandem was born - two creative women from Chernihiv, two kindred spirits inspiring each other

FILM PROGRAMME:
CIRCULATION
Oleksiy Radynski (2020) 12’
Circulation presents the landscape and cityscape of Kyiv captured in a perpetual loop from the viewpoint of Kyiv’s ring railway, representing the gaze in permanent displacement, flight or purposeless wandering. The train’s circular movement suggests a society in constant transition without destination; a transition from the Communist ‘never’ into the Capitalist ‘always,’ revealing the city’s decrepit post-industrial areas, its newly-built affluent housing estates, its crumbling pieces of social infrastructure and parts of its ‘Westernised’ city centre.
DENDRO DREAMS
Elias Parvulesco, Teta Tsybulnyk (2018) 24’
A film about the relationships of humans and trees. An attempt to question human gaze upon nature, recognize subjectivity of a tree and approach its radical otherness.
IN JOY, AND ONLY IN JOY
Marina Roschina (2018) 27’
Kate is a young lonely mother. She falls in love with a fellow but does not have the courage to tell him that she has a son. As their relationship develops rapidly the revelation becomes more complicated. The choice between her personal life and responsibility for her son arises.
LILAC
Kate Gornostai (2017) 30’
May. Lilac blossoms in Kyiv. Five friends and alcohol from the nearest supermarket. You need to be brave to face your fears, but you need to be even more courageous to tell about them to your closest. Looking for Lilac’s cinquefoil to eat for good luck.
THE SECRET THE GIRL AND THE BOY (2017)
Oksana Kazmina (2017) 13’
The Girl and the Boy play in a garden. They are left alone there and they do not have any obligations to behave in a certain way. This gives them the freedom to create their own ways of interaction with the world. During such an interaction, adult social constructs inter-twist into weird children folklore and shift into an abstract sphere. There are secrets and various modes of being in the world of the Girl and the Boy.

Spectacle: Un 24 février, à l'aube
9 Ukrainian women talk about their home and their journey
The project "Un 24 février, à l'aube" is the result of the collaboration of nine Ukrainian women who have been refugees in Belgium for several months and a Tatar actress who has been living in Belgium for five years, Regina, who wanted to contribute to the reception of these women in Brussels.
They met during theatre workshops. Convinced by the interest and the richness of what they had to say, they decided to create a show based on the work done during these workshops.
This project is supported by the FEAS (Fédération des Employeurs des Arts de la Scène), the Théâtre Marni , Le Rideau , the Théâtre des Martyrs , the Théâtre National Wallonie-Bruxelles, the Théâtre Royal du Parc and the Théâtre Les Tanneurs

Are you hosting people on the run from Ukraine? Would you like to meet other hosts to share your experience? Are you hesitating to take the plunge? Do you have questions about accommodation?
The municipality of Evere is organising an information evening for citizens of Evere who are candidates for accommodation, active hosts and people who have questions about accommodation.
This is an evening of information on the administrative procedures but above all an evening of exchange between citizens on experiences in order to attract people who do not yet dare to embark on the adventure of hosting.

- How to take care of the refugees and yourself?
