The Ukrainian Cultural Sector in Wartimes

In April 2025, the Goethe Institut Ukraine (Kyiv), the Ukraine Art Aid Center e.V. (Berlin), and ALIPH – the International Alliance for the Protection of Heritage (Geneva) – hosted the conference "The Ukrainian Cultural Sector in Wartimes: Emergencies – Needs – Measures". The conference was supportet, among other institutions, by the Robert Bosch Stiftung.

With workshops led by twelve expert groups from across Ukraine, the event highlighted the importance of holding such gatherings within the war-affected country to ensure balanced representation and inclusivity. In light of the many insights gained during the conference, it was decided to publish not only a brief statement but also this more comprehensive report.
