Ro3kvit presents the Dnipro River Integrated Vision at Heritage in Resistance exhibition in Paris

The Dnipro River Integrated Vision continues to enter new contexts where questions of war, ecology, heritage, and future recovery intersect. This spring, the project is presented as part of the exhibition Heritage in Resistance: From Timbuktu to Odesa at the Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine in Paris.

The exhibition examines how armed conflicts target cultural and natural heritage — from emblematic monuments and archives to landscapes, cities, rural territories, and everyday environments. It also looks at the forms of resistance and repair that emerge in response: documentation, preservation, storytelling, reconstruction, and the restoration of social and ecological bonds.

Within this framework, Ro3kvit presents the Dnipro not as a single object of reconstruction, but as a complex living territory where ecological damage, industrial transformation, cultural memory, infrastructure, extraction, displacement, and future development are deeply connected.

Developed during Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Dnipro River Integrated Vision proposes a long-term spatial and environmental approach to the river and its territories. It asks how to think beyond the repair of isolated objects, and how to imagine restoration in places where ecosystems, communities, and spatial relations have been profoundly altered by war.

Heritage in Resistance: From Timbuktu to Odesa runs from 28 May 2026 to 4 January 2027 at the Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine in Paris.
