John Hansard Gallery presents Mykola Ridnyi: The Battle Over Mazepa
Age suitable for: 16+
In partnership with Pushkin House, London, John Hansard Gallery are delighted to present a new film by acclaimed Ukrainian artist Mykola Ridnyi.
The Battle Over Mazepa conceptualises the historical and contemporary perception of Ivan Mazepa, a political and military leader of the Zaporozhian Sich and Left-bank Ukraine in the late-17th and early-18th century.
Addressing codes of hip-hop culture, Ridnyi borrows the popular form of a rap battle to collide two great works of world literature associated with this historical figure.
