Interactive Networking Event “Manifestation” — part of the “Feel Joy” program

On Saturday, June 20 at 14:30, we invite you to “Manifestation” — an interactive networking event where introductions turn into a game, and conversation becomes a space for improvisation and human connection.

At the exhibition, you can see a large inflatable balloon with the text “Can anything last forever?” — a work by Ryan Gander. In this series, the artist repeatedly poses questions we tend to postpone or cannot find answers to. Through this approach, he shifts habitual ways of thinking and opens up space for new perspectives — a principle that also lies at the heart of the “Manifestation” workshop.

During the event, participants will pair up and respond to questions that have no “correct” answers. Each person will have some time to share their thoughts, associations, reflections, and stories, after which roles change. Then comes a new pair, a new question, a new encounter.

Step by step, this creates the opportunity to meet many people, practice improvisation, and step beyond conventional small talk. What matters here is not the “perfect” answer, but attention to the other person, presence in the moment, and the joy of live interaction.

At the end, each participant will create a small postcard with a wish or prediction for another person. The cards will be shuffled, and everyone will receive one at random — a small keepsake of the encounter to take home.

The event will take place on the 5th floor of the educational space at PinchukArtCentre. Participation is free, but registration is required.

The event is led by Daryna Kulichenko — a public speaking consultant and communication coach.

“Manifestation” is part of the “Feel Joy” series of workshops, where creativity, play, and shared experience create a space to let go of “shoulds” and make room for joy.
