UK/Ukraine Season of Culture
About the project
The UK/Ukraine Season of Culture was a collaborative initiative between the British Council and the Ukrainian Institute.
It took place from June 2022 to June 2023 and featured artist residencies, talks, film, music, literature, drama and dance.
Over 40 projects were held in more than 20 cities across the UK, most of them face to face but some online.
Originally intended to celebrate 30 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries and strengthen cultural connections, the Season’s theme of ‘Future Reimagined’ shifted its focus due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
The emphasis was placed on addressing the changed needs and priorities of the Ukrainian cultural sector. The Season became the platform that amplified the Ukrainian cultural and artistic voice in the UK.
