Artist Barbara Kruger has created a new typographic installation, *Untitled (Another Again)*, for the exterior of a Ukrainian Railways Intercity train. The work will be unveiled on May 1 before the train's maiden voyage from Kyiv-Pasazhyrskyi to Darnytsia Station, with a future route spanning Ukraine including stops in Lviv, Kharkiv, and Kramatorsk. Commissioned by the nonprofit RIBBON International in collaboration with Ukrzaliznytsia, the text appears in Ukrainian and English, reflecting Kruger's signature style of bold, critical messaging.
This project matters because it uses public transit as a canvas to honor Ukrainians affected by Russia's invasion, while directly countering Russian propaganda that has included the theft of over 1.7 million pieces of Ukrainian cultural heritage. Kruger's work, known for questioning authority and consumerism, now engages with wartime resilience and national identity. The installation also coincides with new Swiss sanctions on Russian state media, underscoring the intersection of art, politics, and cultural sovereignty in the ongoing conflict.
