One Day You Will Grow Back Your Thumb by Andriy Liashcuk, Tamara Turliun and Chantal Rens - Leporello with 12 Tear-Off Postcards
On February 24 2022, Russia started a terroristic phase of a war against Ukraine. After the bombardment of Kyiv, artists Tamara Turliun and Andriy Liashcuk started to produce wooden birds to sell to support Ukrainian defenders. In April, Andriy cut off his thumb while crafting. Tamara and Andriy made the first prosthetic for him from found objects. On May 6, they got in touch with Chantal Rens, artist based in Tilburg, the Netherlands. What follows is this dialogue, guided by objects, randomly found by the artists. It’s about the strong will and effort to live through loss; about hope and support.
