Matter defines life. Matter is the resources, materials and tools we use to create something new. Antimatter is creative chaos, unpredictability, and surprise.
Human freedom, in this context, can mean freedom from traditional frameworks and limitations, allowing us to experiment and discover new possibilities.
Design is the bridge between matter and antimatter, allowing us to combine everything into a single whole. Abstract concepts find their embodiment in material reality through the hands and thoughts of artists and designers.
The project includes a presentation of Ukrainian innovative and ecological materials and objects. The exhibition presents objects of decor, interior lighting, ecological textiles, objects made of innovative materials, as well as objects of art & craft.
