Ukrainische Erinnerungswoche - Instytut Pileckiego

We are proud to cooperate with our friends from Vitsche on their new project “Ukrainische Erinnerungswoche”.

We are proud to cooperate with our friends from Vitsche on their new project “Ukrainische Erinnerungswoche”.

As they write: “From May 4 to 9, we are opening spaces for perspectives that are often missing in German memory culture—through discussions, exhibitions, conversations, and a performative commemorative march.”

The package of events they have put together is, as always, truly impressive. Take a look here:
