UFDA's Articles: Insights into Ukraine's Art and Culture 50

We are thrilled to announce that another outstanding artist has joined the Ukrainian Fund of Digitized Art (UFDA)! Meet Danylo Halkin, whose three remarkable works have been digitized by UFDA in the highest possible resolution.

UFDA held a conversation with Maria Isserlis, head of international relations at the Dresden State Art Collections, to discuss her projects uniting Ukrainian and European art and the role of cultural initiatives as a form of diplomacy during challenging times.

One of the biggest challenges for artists entering the world of Web3 is setting up a crypto wallet. That’s why UFDA is hosting a hands-on online event designed to help artists take this crucial step—easily, securely, and with expert guidance.

Last Friday, the UFDA team launched a new series of public conversations about Ukrainian art, digitization, and self-organized practices. The first guest was art critic, curator, and researcher Alya Segal, whose multifaceted activities reflect current trends in Ukraine's cultural field.

Illia Todurkin is an artist whose work teeters between personal experience, traumatic memory, and a deep interest in the transformative nature of art. His creations span a wide range of techniques: from monotypes, sculptures, and graphic works to digital reconstructions of lost spaces.

We had the privilege of speaking with Illia about his creative journey, experiences of loss, depression, the importance of the artistic community, and using digitization to keep memories alive. Read the full interview now! 

Several months ago, the Ukrainian Fund for Digitized Art, in partnership with the Prytula Charity Foundation, held its first-ever charity NFT auction. Over three days of spirited bidding, every lot was sold, raising a total of 37,700 USDC to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Now, the equipment and technology purchased with these funds have finally reached their intended recipients!

The Ukrainian Fund of Digitized Art (UFDA) has officially concluded its Open Call for museums, art institutions, galleries, and independent artists, and the results are nothing short of extraordinary!

This addition showcases a diverse range of artistic styles and techniques, reflecting the depth of Ukraine’s contemporary art scene.
