Ukraine’s rich cultural heritage is currently under devastating attack: in response, artists in Kyiv have created a dazzling digital artwork, projecting images of 56 monumental mosaics over four nights onto the façade of the Old Royal Naval College.

Originally created in 2019 (Discover Ukraine: Bit by Bit), this reimagined spectacular audio-visual event, is presented under the umbrella of the UK/UA Season of Culture with support from the Ukrainian Institute and British Council specifically for GDIF.

Many mosaics in towns and villages across Ukraine have been destroyed since the Russian invasion. This poignant event is an important way of ensuring that Ukraine’s cultural legacy is remembered, supported and celebrated. 

Duration: 15 minutes

UK/Ukraine Season of Culture 
The British Council and the Ukrainian Institute have been planning a season of culture in 2022 for some time – originally to mark 30 years of diplomatic relations. The invasion of Ukraine in February strengthened our resolve to deliver it, with a revival of interest in Ukraine’s culture and heritage. Through a year-long programme of activity the season aims to strengthen and deepen cultural relations between our two countries. The programme will focus on the changed needs and priorities of the Ukrainian cultural sector and give a voice to Ukrainian creatives, both in the UK and online.

On Monday 29th August Photographer Yevgen Nikiforov together with curator and art historian Lizaveta German will talk about the monumental art legacy of Ukraine of 1960–80s: it’s history, disputable status in contemporary culture, challenges of research and protection, and threads of disappearance under Russian shelling.
