                On March 24, 2012 the global action “Occupy Ukrainian Body
– Fight Censorship!” started in Rome. The activists from ESC (Italy),
#Occupy Geneva (Switzerland) and “Political Critique” (Poland) made a
protest against censorship in front of the Ukrainian embassy in Italy to
support the Visual Culture Research Center of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy and its
exhibition “Ukrainian Body”, that were both closed by the university
administration. The protestants called for the restoration of artistic and
political freedom at the University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy and demanded to
reclaim the unjust situation – to resume the Center’s activity in full
scope in its working space of the Old Academic Building and to reopen the
“Ukrainian Body” exhibition.

                `The international action “Occupy Ukrainian Body – Fight
Censorship!” of the Occupy movement will continue in other countries to
express global solidarity with contemporary socially engaged art and Visual
Culture Research Center as the institution representing it. The banner with
the slogan of the action goes to other occupy cities circulating around the
globe for more actions of support for the VCRC that will take place over
the next weeks.
