“Chromatic Wednesdays”is a bi-weekly event series organized by Apartment Project, which promotes artistic expression across various disciplines and formats. Each month, Chromatic Wednesdays focuses on a new theme, for which two events are realized. In 2022, the themes were: Improvisation, Exile, Precarity, Mutualism, Recurrence, Echoes, Divergence, Instability, Curiosity, Resonance, Sanctuary and Inversion. In 2023: Solidarity, Upheaval, Resistance, Light, Comma, Mythology, Position, Urbanism, Unbound, Dystopia, Home and Intelligence. Chromatic Wednesdays invited artists, musicians, performers, scientists and cultural practitioners to collaborate, experiment and share their unique research, practices and experiences with each other and the public. The events included a wide range of multidisciplinary, hybrid formats, including concerts, performances, workshops, film screenings, lectures, exhibitions, readings, and panel discussions.

In 2021 the project came to life as a reaction to artistic disruption caused by the pandemic.  Today numerous challenges persistently endanger cultural production. How do artists and  audiences from different backgrounds and mediums come together? What forms of new expression can be explored or can be expanded? What kind of new networks between institutions and artists can be established? How can these networks sustain the survival of the artists?

As part of Chromatic Wednesdays’ Season 2 and 3, a total of 167 participants from countries, such as Turkey, Germany, France, Italy, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Ukraine, Norway, Japan, Iran, Poland, Switzerland, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Sweden, Russia, China, the U.K, USA, Portugal, Columbia, Costa Rica, Cameroon, Namibia, Israel, Egypt, Spain, Austria, Ireland, Russia, Taiwan were invited. Of them, 92 female, 63 male and 12 non-binary participated.

The very first editions were streamed online due to Corona measures. Since June 2021, the events have been held in a hybrid format, mainly at the Apartment Project and online.

SKETCHES OF EASTERN UKRAINE
«Searching for meanings until February 2022
Life after February 2022»

Screening of films by Freefilmers, followed by a Q&A session with Iryna Berezneva (co-founder of Freefilmers), moderated by Şirin Fulya Erensoy
As an expression of solidarity with Ukrainians, Chromatic Wednesdays invited Freefilmers to this episode. The collective from Mariupol presented three of their short films reflecting eastern Ukrainian cities before and since the Russian invasion in 2022. The screenings were followed by a Q&A session with Freefilmers co-founder Iryna Berezneva.

«Вы шо, тут металл воруете? (Відновлення простору)» / «Revitalization of space» (2018, 25 min) by Sasha Protyah & Oksana Kazmina The film team of the Creative East project travels through eastern Ukrainian cities to explore abandoned areas and buildings. The people they meet offer different perspectives on the places they often find abandoned, but which have sometimes been, for example, revitalized through rave parties, transformed through temporary art interventions or turned into a skate park.

«Шо шо? (Східноукраїнський діалог)» / «Eastern Ukrainian dialogue» (2018, 25 min) by Sasha Protyah & Oksana Kazmina The film examines the issues and possibilities of building cultural dialogue in eastern Ukrainian cities. The film crew analyzes the multicultural history of the region, the difficulties of expressing one’s culture and attempts to establish cross-regional dialogue. The film aims to create space for expressing different points of view on cultures of the eastern region of Ukraine, rather than giving ready-made answers.

«My favorite job» (2022, 32 min) by Sasha Protyah Since Russian troops surrounded the Ukrainian city of Mariupol in the spring 2022, the civilian population has been exposed to Russian military action. Therefore, volunteers started evacuating people from Mariupol to Zaporizhzhia in mid-March 2022. The film shows the risky daily work of the volunteers: they meet after each trip to share information, support each other and talk about their traumatic experiences.

Freefilmers is a cinemovement and NGO from Mariupol in East Ukraine founded by Sasha Protyah and Iryna Berezneva and including Oksana Kazminka, Yulia Serdyukova and Natasha Tseliubavtsov. They are a collective of filmmakers and artists, originally from Mariupol and now based in different parts of the world. For the past five years, they have been working with topics of urban transformations in the region of eastern Ukraine and its multicultural vibes. Their research also includes a focus on the working-class creativity and industrial past and present of post-socialist cities. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, however, their main focus has shifted to building a network of solidarity and support for Ukrainians who are suffering from and fighting against the Russian aggression.
