Time Based — a project by Olya Bekenstein (Am I Jazz?) that blends music, dance, performance, and more. The first phase of the project involved a mentorship program where five American artists supported the development of five new projects in Ukraine. Ukrainian artists worked with their mentors through 10 private meetings to refine their ideas.
