Edge of Illusions

We are thrilled to announce an unprecedented collaboration between Rukh Art Hub, Tuku Maggi Project, and Mriya Gallery—three institutions united in presenting a transcontinental dialogue that bridges America, Ukraine and Latvia.
"Edge of Illusions" emerges as a profound collaborative exploration by contemporary artists Zoya Frolova and Janis Jakobsons, who confront the most urgent questions of our time: How do artists navigate the complexities of conflict and failure? What emerges when imagination collides with harsh reality?

This exhibition creates an intimate dialogue with the legacy of prominent Ukrainian master Vasyl Mironenko (1910–1964), illuminating the eternal bonds between past and present while offering a reflective sanctuary amid contemporary chaos. The power of metaphor transforms life's most devastating events into art, where paper boats replace warships—childhood innocence confronting naval might. When fire, paper, and water converge, they reveal both the fragility of human existence and the profound absurdity of our current moment.

The Exhibition will feature additional programming that we will announce soon
