The project was supported by Comune di Milano and sponsored by Vera Lab and was born to offer support to the artists affected by the war in Ukraine due to the Russian invasion and contribute to the normalization of their social life and professional activity. During the residency programme and the daily-life experience HOW YOU DARE? saw an incredible number of creative people coming from the underground queer scene of Ukraine to take part in the residency especially thanks to the main artists involved. Four studio-visits were organized, many appointments and activities and the final exhibition Rolling Refugee Home Museum on Wheels, which took place in the space of Ex Cisterne in April 2023.
