NICC is pleased to present A Chapel Against Fascism, a solo exhibition by Denys Shantar.
Drawing from Christian iconography, mythology, art history, folklore, and personal experiences, Shantar weaves a complex narrative that reflects on themes of childhood, religion, migration, and queerness. His research into the lives and representations of Christian saints and martyrs serves as a foundation for his exploration of queer identity within both historical and contemporary socio-political contexts.
As fascism always does, today's Armageddon complex is not only shaped by authoritarian politics, but also by economic instability, social fragmentation, and a deep distrust in democratic institutions.
By blending oppositions and focusing on ambiguities, Shantar creates a new iconography that
challenges dominant identities and narratives.
