Beyond Greener Grass: CEC ArtsLink Assembly 2025

CommunityEvents

The Assembly of Ukrainian cultural leaders continues CEC ArtsLink’s sustained and deep engagement with the cultural community of Ukraine over many years. ArtsLink Assembly: Beyond Greener Grass shared critical ideas, built networks of support, developed implementation plans and initiated a new cultural ecology for Ukraine and its diaspora.

The agenda for ArtsLink Assembly: Beyond Greener Grass was shaped in a curated by CEC ArtsLink series of workshops  for artists and cultural leaders in Lviv, Kyiv, Berlin and Warsaw in March-June 2024. These moderated dialogues focused on strategies for Ukraine’s cultural reconstruction, created platforms for ongoing discussion, shared knowledge, and added a wider range of artists’ perspectives to the strategic planning.

At the Assembly, key artists and cultural leaders presented the outcomes of the workshops – reflections, new issues and ideas, as well as constructive proposals for future action.

On May 24, Georg Schöllhammer (curator, Office Ukraine, director of tranzit.at) took part in the panel discussion Strategies for Cooperation between Ukraine, New Diaspora and Beyond:
Other participants:
Liza German, curator, co-founder of The Naked Room gallery (Kyiv)
Kateryna Radchenko, curator, Director of Odesa Photo Days Festival
Kateryna Rietz-Rakul, Head of Ukrainian Institute in Germany, based in Berlin

Anna Kopylova, independent cultural manager and curator, former director of Voloshyn Gallery
Daria Prydybailo, curator, Berlin workshop participant
Kateryna Alymova (online), cultural and music manager, curator, producer, co-founder of Kyiv Contemporary Music Days
