At the residency, Artem will work on the project "Childhood on the Street, 1920s-1930s," which is a continuation of the study "The System of Orphanages in Soviet Ukraine during the Holodomor, 1928-1935." The research focuses on the history of Jewish children who were in the orphanage system of Soviet Ukraine in the interwar period. The disciplinary authority covered practices toward the child by society, family, community, and the state at the time. Using several case studies of orphanages in major Ukrainian cities, the study analyzes how large-scale policies such as "indigenization" intersected with the local, daily practices of orphanages.
