On the 18th of November, 2008 at Cherkasy State Business College (CSBC) a thematic video-presentation of Valerij Galchenko (a curator of the competition “Anti-AIDS-Ukraine” from the Ukrainian Designers` Association and the Association of graphic artists-designers “The fourth block”) was held. Besides, apart from  the students of Cherkasy State Business College the students-designers and the tutors of Cherkasy State Technical University of and Cherkasy National University named after B.Chmelnickij were present. Approximately 120 persons took part in this meeting.

 

The topic of the presentation was  “ The history of  holding  an International competition of posters and computer animation “AntiAIDS-Ukraine” (2005-2007)”.  The nominated works were shown and commented on, and also the works of nominates that were included into the short-lists of the previous years were exhibited. Besides a film by Vladimir Kakurin(the head of the foundation “Red Ribbon”) that summarized  the experience of this competition during last years  was demonstrated.

 

A logical component of the presentation was a public inviting of students and professional designers of Cherkasy region to take part in the third International competition of  posters and computer animation “AntiAIDS-Ukraine”. A topic of this competition was mentioned and commented on – “Sexual counter-revolution” – that proclaims a necessary formation of  rational and positive poster images, based on humane ideals and traditional moral and ethic values.

 

A logical addition to the presentation “AntiAIDS-Ukraine” was another film by Vladimir Kakurin about holding the 2nd theatre festival “Zhivi!” (Live!) that was organized by the foundation “Red Ribbon” in September ,2008 in the sanatorium  “Solnechnaya Dolina”  (Cape Tarhankut, village Olenivka, Crimea AR).

 

In particular, Valerij Galchenko told that during the work of the theatre festival the idea of a design-party “with bare hands” was embodied , and it became an essential component of holding the festival “Zhivi!”. Due to the idea of the organizers (professor O. Veklenko and V. Galchenko), a group of tutors and students of KSATI (16 authors) became the participants of the festival. Their task was to create a poster in a graphical manner at the end of each performance. Besides, the most important demand was to create them on the sanatorium beach without computers, with bare hands. Only photographing the result was allowed  to print it then  as a keepsake.  Approximately 50 pieces of painting were created during 6 days. Later in Kharkiv Municipal Gallery (on the 14th of October) a presentation of these pictures was held. The tutors and the students of the universities of Cherkasy admitted the creative way and impressive results of a new methodic that kharkiv designers had practiced.

 

As a result, both parts of presentation received high professional and emotional marks. The end of the presentation was marked off with sincere applause. A lot of students and tutors of the universities that have designers` department expressed their willingness in taking part in the International competition of posters and computer animation “AntiAIDS-Ukraine” and in the 3rd Theatre festival “Zhivi!” in September 2009 on Tarhankut in the competition of posters` design.
