Bereznitsky Art Foundation opens the group exhibition “NOI” — a gesture of shared experience and hope. An attempt to gather fragments of memory into a symbolic ark that does not rescue but bears witness: we exist, we endure.

“NOI” means “we” — not only a grammatical plural, but a space of responsibility where individual voices merge into a collective silence. In times of war, which destroys not only bodies and homes but also language, subjectivity, and memory, we gather the remnants of a symbolic world where it was still possible to be “I”, “we”, “country”, “language”.

The ark in this exhibition is a psychic act of resistance against forgetting. It is also a trap — an impossible return to a wholeness that no longer exists. We are not trying to save objects — we are trying to save ourselves. And yet the ark reminds us: the return, the home, the wholeness — are no longer possible. What are we preserving? And who do we call “we” today?

Curated by Yuriy Sivirin, the exhibition opened on May 23 at the Bereznitsky Art Foundation.
