Summary/Abstract: The objective of the paper is to give an overview of and to analyse the Post-Chernobyl Art, which not only is perceived as an artistic comment on the Chernobyl tragedy but, most of all, as a way of working through the social trauma. The Post-Chernobyl Art is a remarkable panorama of the post-apocalyptic culture (both high and low) oriented toward a reflection on what happened; it is also a story about victims of the tragedy and a warning to the future generations.
