“Who Owns the Landscape? Peatland” is the first project in a series that the team of the Lviv Radio Municipal Enterprise is implementing as part of the Network of Culture and Technology at DIM42. The title is not a rhetorical question. It is an attempt to challenge the anthropocentric claim to land and landscape: Who gets to decide? What should be done with it? Whom does it serve? Whose voice does it speak with?
The exhibition begins locally—with the Bilohorshcha Peatland Landscape Reserve and the peatland in Dubliany—and gradually expands into a broader Ukrainian context before extending beyond the country’s borders to the experiences of Scotland, England, and the Netherlands. It is structured around three thematic sections: the Male Polissia region, the Bilohorshcha Peatland itself, and “The Green Shield”—natural landscapes as a factor of protection and resilience. Photography, video, installation, painting, and comics are the different languages through which a single theme is expressed.
