The Inner Crossroads

XOMEHKO

Yaroslava Khomenko (1988, Kyiv) is a visual artist and designer. Working with textile installations and sculptural forms, she addresses issues of overproduction and overconsumption in her work, engaging in a critical dialogue with the fashion industry. Since the full scale Russian invasion in February 2022 she went more into social interaction art practice that combines the cultural and socio-economic questions of the war migration, adaptation, and the processing of displacement trauma, while fostering new communities through collective textile workshops.

The inner crossroads captures a moment of inevitable collapse of self-perception and the full acceptance of uncertainty as a point of catharsis, reflecting deeply personal experiences and functioning as an act of exposure before the public, first and foremost, the artist herself.

The exhibition takes place at ZAVADSKI, a multidisciplinary space in Vienna’s 7th district that operates at the intersection of contemporary design, craft, and artistic practice.
