Izolyatsia - Kiev Docklands

_IZOLYATSIA

Transforming the Kiev docklands of
Ukraine through the Arts, Craftsmanship
and Community.

Izolyatsia is a platform for cultural initiatives. It is a multidisciplinary cultural project open to all genres of creative expression. It is a point of intersection for all those passionate about cultural and social change. Izolyatsia has three intertwined directions of activity: art, education and projects geared at activating Ukraine’s creative sector.

The initial concept behind the redevelopment of the dockland centres on the creation of cultural, social, and artistic connections embodied through Izolyatsia’s ideologies. The idea that all aspects of art and performance can be conducted and experienced on site, through a master plan of integrated public buildings and urban landscaping. The three principles which build the foundations of the design concept are the importance of the arts and its exhibition, open and integrated craftsmanship for quality art and design, and a sense of social well-being and shared values through an artistic community.
