mediator of uncertain narratives - listening as a form of care and structure - working within the framework of Anthology of Uncertainty
I (Danylo Boiko, 2002, Ukraine) work as a cultural actor, researcher, editor and mediator, moving between contemporary art, communication and social research. My practice is grounded in uncertainty as a lived condition — shaped by generational trauma, unstable systems of knowledge, war and displacement. I am interested in how people speak, fall silent, adapt and transmit when clear narratives no longer hold.
My formats of work mainly include video, photography, archival materials and performative. Process relies on fieldwork, conversations, documentary materials and contemporary artistic methods. Listening is central to how I work: to familiar and unfamiliar languages, choirs and symphonic music, public transport announcements, birds, markets. I look closely at cinema and photography, and I pay attention to how exhibitions are felt physically, not only understood intellectually.
Anthology of Uncertainty is an ongoing framework that reflects this approach. It brings together research, workshops, public discussions and performative formats to gather fragments of experience and allow them to coexist. The programme does not aim to resolve uncertainty or produce unified statements. It creates conditions where doubts, contradictions and partial knowledge remain visible.
Communication is part of my artistic and research practice. I approach it as a form of mediation between contexts, audiences and disciplines, shaped by editing, care and restraint. Using it I work across artistic, institutional and public spaces without fixing my role too tightly.
I am interested in practices that shift attention, question dominant cultural narratives and open space for other voices to be heard.
My position is deliberately open yet principled, adapting to the questions, people and context each project brings.
