About the publication
Office Ukraine connects displaced Ukrainian artists and cultural workers with the Austrian art scene and supports them in continuing their work in their respective fields.

Founded immediately after the beginning of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, the art and relief project sends a strong message of solidarity on the part of the local art scene and the Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport (BMKOES).

This publication provides a comprehensive overview of the diverse activities of Office Ukraine. In addition to contributions from the team, numerous Ukrainian artists and supporters recount their experiences. A personal essay by author Tanya Malyarchuk and a contribution by linguist Ruth Wodak on current trends in international migration policy complement the assembled information.

The book aims not only to share the experiences of two years of work with those who wish to build similar initiatives for other (artistic) communities at risk, but also to take a stand against becoming accustomed to this war being waged in Europe.

The publication was made possible through the generous support of the Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport (BMKOES).
