Showing the human experience of war

While the news informs about the current war events in Ukraine, the life reality of the local people often remains elusive. In the project Documenting Ukraine, Ukrainian intellectuals and creatives are working to make these perspectives visible.

Scientists, journalists, intellectuals, artists and archivists are documenting the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine in the project Documenting Ukraine. Unique to the project is the support of people who live in Ukraine and can therefore provide personal perspectives. The project was launched in March 2022 and aims to make the war accessible and understandable to the public.

The focus is on the human experience of this war. The documentation is done through reporting, collecting materials and testimonies, or through artistic means. This results, for example, in photos, videos, podcasts or literature. The project contributes to the preservation of the spiritual heritage of Ukraine. The results are collected in an archive. 

Documenting Ukraine is a research project of the Institute for Human Sciences (Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen, IWM) and is funded by the Robert Bosch Foundation, among others.
