The Ukrainian Institute has launched an online platform called Insight UA, which covers various cultural aspects such as music, literature, theater, cinema, visual arts, and Crimea, as reported by the organization's press service.
The website offers diverse formats for exploring Ukrainian culture. For music enthusiasts, there are materials on jazz, classical music, electronic music, rap, and other genres. Additionally, the platform features top festivals and concert venues.
Cinema lovers can find curated movie selections, platforms for watching films, information on where to learn about filmmaking in Ukraine, and more. Readers can learn about the Kharkiv School of Photography, watch explanatory videos about notable figures, cultural and historical events, and even immerse themselves in the VR project "Native Crimea."
Insight UA can also be useful for international partners seeking collaboration and wanting to learn more about cultural actors in Ukraine. The platform includes separate articles about Ukrainian artists, curators, art spaces, cultural institutions, and initiatives.
In a dedicated section called "Russia's War Against Ukraine," the platform presents projects highlighting the consequences of Russian aggression. This includes information about monuments and landmarks destroyed by Russia, such as the Freedom Square in Kharkiv, the Lisichansk Gymnasium, and St. Peter Mogila Cathedral in Mariupol.
The project also showcases artists who defend Ukraine within the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them are stage designer Dmytro Kostyumeetskiy, director Olena Maksyom, poet Yaryna Chornoguz, and cultural manager Yuriy Vovkohon
