War and Culture

Like everyone else, we are shocked by the events in Ukraine. Words are inadequate to express the feelings that are controlling us. Fortunately, initiatives are being set up everywhere; initiatives that we support and that we would like to bring to your attention. We mention a few.

?rt for Ukraine

On behalf of the Cultural and Creative Sector Task Force, Kunsten '92 organized the campaign ?rt for Ukraine during the first weekend of March. There was a broad response from the cultural sector and the campaign will continue until at least March 31. You can register via this form. Kunsten '92 also makes an appeal: "As an advocate for art, culture, heritage and the creative sector, we are also concerned about the situation of the artists, creatives, cultural organizations and heritage that Ukraine has. Artists, scientists and journalists - both from Ukraine and Russia - are often at extra risk in these situations. We also see that cultural institutions and cultural heritage are now being targeted by attacks. Therefore, we endorse the (...) pleas, and are happy to share here the various fundraising efforts with cultural purposes. We also ask our supporters to pass on initiatives to us, so that we can share them more widely with the cultural and creative network in the Netherlands.
