I’m awful at self-promotion but I must admit, I’m pretty sure no other Holocaust museum IN THE WORLD is doing residencies for artists, writers and translators on a year round, multi-year basis. Correct me if I’m wrong. I first thought about this programme in July 2021 and began fundraising for it in August 2021. We appointed a wonderful curator for the project in May 2022 and the first three artists in November 2022. At that time, the programme answered many organisational questions. However, at the end of six months of conversations, archive research and making, the programme has proved that it can a platform to debate many key questions in our field: • How do we foster a responsible culture of care when engaging with stories of persecution, migration and loss? • How do we understand what has been lost, stolen, destroyed — the things that don’t take archivable form? • How do we ensure that the atrocities of the Nazi genocide are remembered by future generations without recourse to living eyewitnesses? I’m beyond proud.

Lately, an Inter-Ministerial Team has released a summary report for regulating Holocaust-era provenance research in Israel! During WWII, hundreds and thousands of cultural assets were confiscated and looted from the Jewry by Nazis. Some of these assets were able to arrive to Israel after the war and now a team led by the Administrator General within the Ministry of Justice established its main recommendations: 📌 If a certain asset in a museum seems to be a stolen work, the museum will conduct research to find out who owned this work 📌 The government will provide funding to the museums for this purpose 📌 The general guardian will help the museum by locating who is the rightful owner of these art works 📌 Museums are obliged to act in a just and fair manner when returning the looted items to their owners and ensuring perpetuation of these works.

Friends, As of October 26, 2023, the Lavra Art Gallery has opened its doors to my art photo project, "Echo of War in 36 Frames," presented under the auspices of the Grynyov Art Collection. This series isn't a mere documentary account of military events; it's a deeply symbolic portrayal. It captures the essence of Ukraine—its wounds, its resilience, and its unyielding will to live. The exhibition aims to do more than showcase the devastating impact of war. It seeks to convey the indomitable spirit of our people, encouraging every visitor to not just look, but also feel the depth and the gravity of our collective experiences. Today, Ukraine stands at the forefront of a global battle for democracy and freedom. The war ravaging our homeland isn't a localized issue; it's a challenge that concerns the world. The aggressor not only threatens us but jeopardizes the stability of Europe as a whole. Your support and understanding are invaluable at this pivotal moment. Come experience this compelling exhibition.
