The works of the Ukrainian photographers provide an interesting insight into the changes that have taken place in Ukrainian society since the 1960s, from the years when the dream of socialism gradually proved to be a failure until the last few months of the self-sacrificing struggle of the Ukrainians for their country. curated by: Kateryna Filyuk artists: Valentyn Bo, Aleksander Chekmenev, Maryna Frolova, Oleksander Glyadyelov, Paraska Plytka Horytsvit, Borys Gradov, Alena Grom, Viktor and Sergey Kochetov, Yulia Krivich, Sasha Kurmaz, Viktor Marushchenko, Sergey Melnitchenko, Boris Mikhailov with Mykola Ridnyi, Valeriy Miloserdov, Iryna Pap, Evgeniy Pavlov, Roman Pyatkovka, Natasha Shulte, Synchrodogs, Viktoriia Temnova, Mykola Trokh In collaboration with Ukranian Institute, IZOLAZIA, Goethe-Institut in Exile, MOMENTUM, KleinerVonWiese Relevance for Mürsbach: Johann Baptist Schad, * 1758 in Mürsbach, Professor of Philosophy in Charkiv Йоганн Баптист Шад, * 1758 у Мюрсбаху Професор філософії в Харків Johann Baptist Schad was born in Mürsbach a small village in Upper Franconia to poor peasant parents and was sent to a monastery. He was a whistleblower calling the bluff of monastic life as one of gluttony and deceit. This put him on the inquisition´s list of heretics and he had to flee the monastery.

Schad was an ardent supporter of the French Revolution and the ideas of humanism, freedom and enlightenment, as well as a harsh critic of the Jacobine movement in France. He denounced violence, resentiment, deceit and bigotry and instead became a strong proponent of freedom of speech.

There he became the teacher of many scholars, poets, scientists and journalists in the Ukraine.
