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 the UK’s diplomatic relationship with Ukraine.

The full scale invasion of Ukraine in February strengthened resolve to deliver a season, 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 partnerships between both countries, and provide new opportunities for exchange including through residencies, talks, films and lectures.

The programme will focus on the changed needs and priorities of the Ukrainian sector and giving a voice to Ukrainian creatives, both in the UK and online.
