What is happening in Ukraine might happen anywhere!
Be Ukrainian. Be Brave. Be Free!
About
The project Ukraine is You invites you to be Ukrainian for a moment, while warning that what is happening to Ukraine is equally a threat to others. It is an experience of sharing moments of power of Ukrainians defending freedom, in the face of the suffering many Ukrainians underwent, and still undergo, during the Russian aggression.
At the core is an exhibition: large screens with film work from recently liberated Kherson with its beauty, its threats and suffering from the Russian siege. An unbreakable determination to persist and prevail. Ukrainians reclaiming their lives and rebuilding their city. There is also a movie built from thousands of photographs and witness statements of Russian war crimes in Ukraine, complemented by informative maps and statistics.
Complementing this experience, an ongoing discursive program brings together global thinkers, experts and people from the ground in Ukraine. They discuss the assault on Ukraine, Russian war crimes, and also the hope and empowerment of defending and reconquering life and freedom.
Guests dive into the lives of people in Ukraine through pictures, movies, information and conversation. The project thus creates an exchange on diverse intellectual and sensory levels. This process and experience puts Ukrainians’ fight where it belongs: into the hearts and souls of those citizens of other countries who cherish freedom, and who at the moment are not, as Ukrainians are, under assault from an aggressor who aims to extinguish life and the freedom to be who one is.
Ukraine is You is located at Promenade 59, Davos, as a private event on the occasion of the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum, in a space shared with Ukraine House Davos.
Ukraine is You is organized by Victor Pinchuk Foundation and PinchukArtCentre in cooperation with the Office of the President of Ukraine.
