On 22./23.8.2025 Hotel Continental – Art Space in Exile will mark the fourth Independence Day of Ukraine since the full-scale invasion with this year´s edition of the Art Festival ВОЛЯ I VOLIA, bringing together independent Ukrainian artists and creators from across disciplines — visual art, theatre, performance, music, dance, fashion and word — to respond to the meaning of “independence” after more than eleven years of war. Through the works of art, voices and acts of resistance we will ask what it means to celebrate independence in the ongoing reality, its collective and individual aspects, its daily struggle, defiance, endurance, believe and hope.
