"The works presented this year not only address the pain and challenges of the present but also focus on internal awakening – spiritual strength and faith in a better future. "UBIENNALE: AWAKENINGS" aims to be a space for building optimism and hope during a great ordeal. In the unique environment of "AWAKENINGS," among works emphasizing unity and the importance of collective awakening, you will feel the spirit of community, which is a vital aspect of national self-awareness," says Valeriy Korshunov, the curator of the Ukrainian Biennale of Digital and Media Art

The first exhibition of digital and media art took place in 2021 with the support of the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation, the Embassy of Spain in Ukraine, and the Spanish development agency AECID. The event brought together 50 artists from 15 countries, with 17 of them from Spain.
