Presentation of the publication ‘Office Ukraine. Two Years of Support for Ukrainian Artists’

28. August 2024 events

We are pleased to present the publication Office Ukraine. Two Years of Support for Ukrainian Artists (Verlag für moderne Kunst).  

The publication presents the diverse activities of Office Ukraine over two years throughout Austria and provides insights into our collaboration with artists and institutions. 

The book also includes interviews with Ukrainian artists and art workers who came to Austria fleeing the war, as well as essays by Ukrainian author Tanya Malyarchuk about personal experiences with those who stayed in Ukraine and linguist and migration expert Ruth Wodak on global migration policy.

Over the course of our work, we have organised–mostly in cooperation with art institutions and culture initiatives–about 270  events with around 580 invited Ukrainian artists and theorists, many of them making their way onto the pages of the book. Also, each part of the publication is illustrated with works by Ukrainian artists with whom we are in touch.

Our aim is to inform about our work and to raise awareness about the war in Ukraine and the situation of refugee artists in Austria. This publication was created with the intention of sharing our experiences and thus providing a starting point or even a guide for similar initiatives in the future.

Office Ukraine was founded in cooperation with the BMKOES (Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport), civil society, tranzit.at, < rotor > Center for Contemporary Art, Künstler:innenhaus Büchsenhausen, springerin and other initiatives. 

We invite you to the book presentation at Secession on 25 September at 6 pm. 

The event will be held in English, admission is free.
