"In June 2022, the Free Azovstal Defenders manifesto became a forced measure. The black-and-yellow call passed through the streets of Ukrainian cities, international events, competitions, congresses. It was on the pages of world publications, in coffee shops of front-line cities, in offices and headquarters. It became recognizable. It became part of the struggle.
We would like it to never exist. But the reality is different. We are forced to look for new forms, new meanings.
Oleg Semak reinterpreted it into a work he called BLACK CITADEL. — he added depth, found in it images and meanings that speak more quietly but more strongly. This work does not shout, it is not visible from afar, but it penetrates deeply into those who understand. For us, this work was the beginning of the MANIFEST SPECIAL series. This is a manifesto seen differently. »
