A STAGE FOR FIRST CHAPTERS
Prologue is a club inside Istoriya — a cultural complex occupying the historic former City Railway Ticket Office on Hnatyuka Street in Lviv. While the main hall is under renovation, the basement operates now: stone walls, dim coloured light, old televisions, and a programme built entirely around artists showing their work for the first time.
Intimate concerts. Film screenings. Lectures. Poetry. Exhibitions. The kind of night where nobody is famous yet.
"Like a literary prologue, the club is an opening chapter — a place to search, share, experiment, and find."
— Yaryna Korotkevych, Curator

THE SECOND CHAPTER
Six weeks after opening, Prologue hosted Відлуння — Echo. The same basement. A disco ball. Another DJ set. The space was already becoming something.
