The first exhibition in the Ukrainian House in Denmark was the exposition of contemporary art “Muses are not silent”.
Residents of Copenhagen will be able to taste Taras Shevchenko's favorite dessert and tea, as well as listen to an online lecture by Mikhail Nazarenko, an expert on Ukrainian literature of the 19th century, about Taras Shevchenko “Shevchenko as a poet, Shevchenko as a legend.”
The event will take place on Sunday, March 12, at 15:00 at the Ukrainian House in Denmark, which was recently opened in the capital of the country.
“I sincerely hope that the Ukrainian House in Denmark will further strengthen cultural ties and friendship between our two countries. I also hope that it will be a House where you can express your innermost thoughts about art, culture and being. Here in Denmark, away from home,” Danish Minister of Culture Jakob Engel-Schmidt said at the grand opening of the Ukrainian House.
According to the Ambassador of Ukraine to the Kingdom of Denmark Mykhailo Vydoynyk, Ukrainians must do everything to preserve Ukrainian culture, because this is our identity.
It is symbolic that the first exhibition in the Ukrainian House in Denmark was the exhibition of contemporary art “Muses are not silent”, which includes more than a hundred paintings, sculptures and video art created by more than fifty artists from all over Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale war.
This is the first foreign presentation of the exhibition “Muses are not silent”, which was brought from Lviv to Copenhagen by Ukrainian gallery owner Pavel Gudimov, especially for the opening of the Ukrainian House.
“The Muses are not silent” is a denial of the well-known saying: “When guns are heard, the Muses are silent.” Ukrainian artists reacted to the full-scale Russian invasion instantly – artists, designers and architects reflect on the war, the future of Ukraine and the world through their work.
Panellists discussed the importance of culture in the national security strategy, the development of an effective policy for the protection of cultural heritage during wars, as well as the phenomenon of the flowering of Ukrainian culture and patriotism and its significance for the democratic future of Europe.
Ukrainian House in Denmark is open every day except Monday:
Entrance to the exhibition “Muses are not silent”: 50 Danish kroner;
free for Ukrainian refugees and children under the age of 16.
The exhibition will run until May 21, 2023.
Recall that in Toronto (Canada) an exhibition of diplomas of students who died during a full-scale war, without becoming graduates, was organized by representatives of the “Unseen diplomas” project.
