The year 2026 marked the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. It has left a deep imprint on the collective memory—in Ukraine and far beyond. It marks a rift in history, a rupture in our trust in technology, and a shadow that lingers to this day.
Forty years later, many questions remain unanswered: Who is responsible? Who remembers? And what is the cost of silence? This historic event served as the starting point for an international poster competition followed by a traveling exhibition. Students from the Fachhochschule Dortmund and the University of Applied Sciences and Arts (FH Dortmund) in Prof. Lars Harmsen’s “100 Poster Battle” course also participated.
On Wednesday, November 25, 2026, Prof. Illya Pavlov, one of the exhibition’s curators, will give a guest lecture. In addition, the faculty will offer a workshop and celebrate the exhibition’s opening. More information here .
