Duration
Oleksandra Novatska is an artist and curator from Lviv, Ukraine, now living in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. She works mainly with watercolor and pencil, adding other materials and techniques where a project requires them.
Last year, Oleksandra held a solo exhibition entitled ‘Faraway. From Ukraine to UK – A Tribute‘ in Dumfries, which then travelled to Inverness. The exhibition told her story as one of over eight million stories of Ukrainian women and children who have been forced to flee their homes in 2022 in search of safety and security.
Landscapes & Horizons is a fully funded group residency for Scotland-based artists and cultural practitioners, open to people aged over 40, from refugee and other migrant backgrounds. Hosted by Cove Park in collaboration with Luminate, Scotland’s creative ageing organisation, and Cross Borders at Scottish Refugee Council.
The residency supports those who were already working as artists or community organisers with a focus upon arts and cultural projects and is open to those who weren’t able to pursue their practice in their home country for fear of harassment or persecution.
