“Ukraine has a unique and rich culture that has remained largely unknown to the world due to centuries of russian efforts to eradicate its identity. My goal is to promote cultural diplomacy and introduce Ukrainian art to the Dutch audience. VATAHA provides the ideal platform to achieve this mission and ensure Ukraine’s voice is truly heard.”
