The Ukrainian Fund of Digitized Art (UFDA) proudly welcomes Elmira Shemsedinova—an outstanding Ukrainian artist whose works are now part of our growing digital archive.

We're excited to introduce the next chapter of The UFDA Podcast, a full-fledged podcast now available on YouTube and Apple Podcasts. Our guests include artists, photographers, performers, curators, and educators, voices shaping the future of Ukrainian culture through action, reflection, and resistance.

This conversation with Anton Reznikov turned out to be unexpectedly expansive — it found room for reflections on time, for doubts, and for attempts to rethink the role of the artist in a world oversaturated with content.
