Migrant from the Garden


In honor of my birth, my grandfather planted a plum tree in the village of Berezivka, Sumy region. This village was occupied by Russia in 2022 and later de-occupied. Now, because of the danger associated with the proximity to the Russian border, people in Berezivka have stopped caring for the garden and my plum tree is only watered by rain. I am relocating the plum tree to a safer area, even though it will have to start life "from scratch." I suggest that migrants take care of the relocated tree so that they do not forget to take care of each other.


The tree was planted in the city of Przemysl (Poland), in the garden where there is a shelter for Ukrainian refugees. In the video, the artist and the displaced people who volunteered to help with the gardening plant a tree. Serhiy from Nova Kakhovka sincerely promises to take care of the plum tree.
