Together with "DRUZI.fs"

When the DRUZI.fs team began gathering, working, and organizing their first street dance master classes (film screenings, discos, photo exhibitions, fairs, etc.) in the summer of 2016, nobody could imagine that everything could expand so quickly in terms of organization and creation.

Now:

DRUZI.fs represents people who are making Kostiantynivka the place they want it to be for future generations.

DRUZI.fs is an open creative space for youth community initiatives.

DRUZI.fs is a place where anyone willing can be themselves, freely create, develop, and realize their ideas into life.

DRUZI.fs hosts weekly events - lectures, trainings, master classes, concerts, film screenings, games, interest club meetings, rehearsals.

DRUZI.fs is a space where you can read books with a cup of coffee, work on the computer, listen to interesting people from all over the country and abroad, communicate with friends, play games and musical instruments, have band rehearsals, sing and dance, watch movies, and much more.

DRUZI.fs is about people who will never judge you for your preferences.

"This space provides informal education for the youth and operates in the fields of art and urbanism. We provide tools to the residents of Kostiantynivka so that they, feeling responsible for their city, could develop it by themselves. We assist with resources, information, and more."

Thanks to the titanic efforts of volunteers and the teams of DRUZI.fs, VilnaХata, EALSOC, "The Most Fest" - the first post-industrial festival in the Donetsk region - has been organized and held three times in the abandoned industrial zone of Kostiantynivka.

The industrial zone is practically isolated from the rest of the city. It used to be the heart of Kostiantynivka, but now it is dead. ​

The territory, which the festival covered for the third time in 2021, is the abandoned industrial heart of the city and represents significant architectural and cultural interest.

Since 2017, it has not just been a location for holding The Most Fest but also a space for rethinking the post-industrial legacy and our past.

This became the theme of the festival in 2021.

 

Now, abandoned industrial sites and buildings are no longer valuable architectural and production facilities; they have become locations for city tours and organizing cultural events. ​

The Most Fest manages to show how the dead territory of abandoned buildings comes to life and dispels the main stereotypes surrounding Donbass.
