Sartsevich: Lutsk's phenomenon of naive art

Through digital technologies, the creation of an online archive, and 3D visualizations, his works are becoming accessible to a wide audience. The project brings together history, art, theatre, and digital tools to contribute to the de-Sovietization of culture and rethinking of local heritage.

 

Project Objective:


To revive the forgotten name of sculptor Stanislav Sartsevych, return his art to the people of Lutsk and the world, and foster the de-Sovietization of culture, reinterpretation, and promotion of local heritage through modern technologies and a cross-sectoral approach.

 

Key Project Stages:

 

  • Create 3D visualizations of Stanislav Sartsevych’s sculptures: digitizing preserved works held at the National Centre of Folk Culture “Ivan Honchar Museum” and reconstructing lost pieces based on archival photographs.

  • Develop a digital archive compiling research results on the artist’s biography and creative legacy.

  • Launch a website serving as a visual archive and a platform of memory.

  • Conduct a scholarly study of Sartsevych’s phenomenon with the participation of renowned art historians, including Zoia Navrotska and Pavlo Hudimov.

  • Present the results through a theatrical performance inspired by the research.

  • Establish a sustainable model for working with artistic heritage to ensure its preservation, reinterpretation, and promotion.
