What a pleasure it is to be able to just drift your thoughts away from this planet. To travel across time and space, where there are no feelings, no pain, no good, no evil – nothing but cold, eternal beauty. There is the Sun, and in its radiant light, a pale blue dot. This is our Earth. Here is our home on Earth. And our home is burning.
How can we, people on Earth, communicate and pass experience to each other? How can we prevent our history from repeating itself?
A Time Capsule or Golden Record art show invites its viewers to embark on a deep philosophical journey about light and darkness, life and death, good and evil. This project is a golden record of human experience sent across the endless space in search of a contact.

Aza Nizi Maza Studio
Kharkiv, Ukraine
—
Aza Nizi Maza is an art studio for children and adults, founded by Mykola and Maria Kolomyets in 2012.
The name of the art studio comes from Federico Fellini’s film “8 and a Half”. In it, the wizard suggests this word to the main character and says that creativity is impossible without this word.
Before the war, the “AZA NIZI MAZA” studio is a creative and innovative art space. From the first day of the war, the “AZA NIZI MAZA” studio became a bomb shelter and a transfer point through which many people have already passed. There, underground, Mykola Kolomiets makes a poster diary “WHAT I SEE”, in which the works of the studio’s children are considered in the context of wartime. This project received a lot of attention in Ukraine and abroad.
When we’ll win – the heart will blossom and will beat in memory of the fallen.
