Join us for a pressing conversation about the ongoing efforts to safeguard Ukraine’s cultural heritage
Since the onset of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, cultural heritage sites have been purposefully targeted across the country. According to Ukraine’s Ministry of Culture and Information Policy, 2,003 cultural heritage places and institutions have been damaged or destroyed, as of June 2024. These sites include landmarks, memorials, monuments, and places of worship and burial.
In this event, WMF Ukraine Heritage Crisis Specialist Kateryna Goncharova will explore the current state of heritage preservation and conservation in Ukraine, spotlighting several active projects, including the Teacher’s House in Kyiv and the Chernihiv Regional Library for Youth, and detail tactics for addressing both immediate and long-term needs of heritage sites across the country. Attendees will then be invited to participate in a Q&A moderated by WMF President and CEO Bénédicte de Montlaur.
This event is hosted in partnership with the Ukrainian Institute of America.
