Bouquet Kyiv Stage co-founder Utkin: New opportunities open up every day in Kyiv when tomorrow is uncertain
Co-founder of the Bouquet Kyiv Stage fine arts festival, principal owner of UARMS, and founder of the Quasar-Micro company Yevhen Utkin emphasizes the importance of art and arts festivals during wartime.
Yevhen Utkin, co-founder of the Bouquet Kyiv Stage fine arts festival and founder of Quasar-Micro company, highlights the significance of art during wartime. He asserts that a cognitive war is being waged, targeting the minds and hearts of individuals. The enemy, lacking a rich cultural heritage, has appropriated Ukraine's culture, according to Utkin.
The Bouquet Kyiv Stage aims to showcase Ukraine's high art in Europe and the United States, introducing forgotten names like Valentyn Silvestrov and Viktoria Poliova to the world. The festival has hosted events in Tbilisi, Oxford, London, Madrid, and New York, featuring Ukrainian musicians renowned for their sincerity and emotional intensity.
Utkin emphasizes that art is not merely a form of expression, but a means of resistance against the ongoing war. With Ukraine's future uncertain, new opportunities and emotions arise each day in Kyiv, making the festival an essential component of the struggle for a free, happy, and successful nation.
