Breakthrough

The themes of the 2018 exhibition reflect upon the condition of the modern world. Half a century ago American philosopher Alvin Toffler wrote that we were bursting into a new era and that this leap is comparable only to the transition from Stone Age to the world of the first civilizations. The exhibition will occupy two floors of the Ekaterina Cultural Foundation. The first floor will house 60 works by participants in the “Takeda. Art/Help. Breakthrough” international art competition for students at art schools and universities.

The competition “Takeda. Art/Help” is being held for the third consecutive year and is part of the large-scale social-cultural project “Takeda. Pain and Will” aimed at drawing attention to the importance of developing palliative care and new technologies in medicine. This year the competition has become international for the first time.
