The book examines the relation between art created during the
so-called Revolution of Dignity-Maidan Events (November 21, 2013 -
February 23, 2014, Ukraine) and the mission of the Maidan Museum
(Kyiv, Ukraine) born from the ashes of Euromaidan, to preserve the
'Spirit of Maidan'. The Maidan events, defined as the Maidanization
process, produced a post-colonial discourse language, a new
apolitical ideology based on the concepts of dignity and
Ukrainianness; generated symbols, social myths, and collective
imaginary; triggered the 'Spirit of Maidan' that changed the
consciousness of the participants in the demonstrations; and
functioned as a ritual of intensification-aggregation-initiation
passage, in which the identity of new Ukraine was shaped. In this
transformative process, in which the human being is seen as an
'animal identitarium' struggling, defending, and fighting for
his/her own identity, artists played a crucial role in assembling
the main elements of the post-Maidan Ukrainian identity (homo
Maidan), were able to empower the whole movement with concrete
ideas, and finally reworked objects, symbols, and music already
present in the Ukrainian DNA through a process of meaningization,
symbolization, mythization, canonization, sacralization, and
interpellation. This volume is based on interviews with artists who
dramatically participated in the Maidan events and fieldwork at the
Maidan Museum, and unfolds and identifies the main elements,
emotions, expectations, and motivations of the relation of art
creation and Ukrainian post-Maidan identity formation based on the
'Spirit of Maidan'.
