In 2023 we are launching UkraineVision, an annual recurring event focusing on the current issues about Ukraine. The theme of UkraineVision 2023 is Culture Dialogues and the event takes place at Kulturhuset in Stockholm on February 17–20, 2023.
Nowadays there is a great demand for knowledge about the history and culture of Ukraine. Through UkraineVision, we want to create a meeting place that provides new perspectives. During the event's four days, together with the Ukrainian, Swedish and international guests, we will talk about:
- Literature: narrating the unspeakable
- Musicians as ambassadors
- Theater at wartime
- Humor as a weapon
- Supporting Ukrainian culture: artists in exile and institutions in danger
- Why is Ukraine important for the world?
Besides panel discussions, UkraineVision 2023 will also feature conversations with Ukrainian writers and artists, video installation, concert etc.
Main language of the event is English, however, some events will be in Ukrainian - please check each event for details. Free entrance for all the panel discussions and meetings, except for Ukrainian stand-up comedy on Monday 20th of February.
The main venue (Lilla Studion, Kulturhuset | Sergels Torg 3, Stockholm) is accessible with a wheelchair.
Register today to secure a seat! Registration link: https://tinyurl.com/ukrainevision23
Video installation and concert don't require registration. Separate registration for the stand-up comedy in Ukrainian.
The event is carried out in collaboration with UnitedVoice with the support of the City of Stockholm,
Nordic Light Hotel and Embassy of Canada to Sweden.
See you at UkraineVision 2023!
