We cordially invite you to the finissage of the Stus exhibition - an evening that combines reflection, poetry and dialog.
Keynote: "The time after STUS"
An in-depth lecture that sheds light on the aftermath and lasting significance of Vasyl Stus' work and life. What traces has his artistic and political legacy left behind in our time?
Performative reading of poetry
The heart of the evening: Vasyl Stus' haunting verses are brought to life through an artistically designed performance. The reading will be given special power by the fact that well-known activists and personalities from Düsseldorf's social and cultural life will read the poems. Their voices lend Stus' words an immediate contemporary power and create a bridge between past and present.
The finissage offers a worthy conclusion to the exhibition and invites visitors to reflect together on the legacy of one of the most important Ukrainian poets and dissidents of the 20th century.
Free admission
We look forward to seeing you there!
The exhibition was conceived by the Instytut Pileckiego/Pilecki Institute Berlin ("https://berlin.instytutpileckiego.pl/de) as part of a collaboration with the Stus Center ("https://stus.center) and the Heinrich Böll Foundation ("www.boell.de/de).

Further cooperation partners are: Lew Kopelew Forum, Polnisches Insitut Düsseldorf and the Verein zur Förderung der Städtepartnerschaft Düsseldorf Czernowitz e.V., Ridne Slowo e.V. as well as partners of the projects "Ukraine is here" and "Tracks of Memory".
