Beyond Horizons: focus Ukraine: in October 2018 the Motovila Institute organises a study tour for a group of cultural managers, artists and curators from Ukraine. The project is implemented under the Culture Bridges Programme funded by the EU and managed by the British Council in partnership with the European Union National Institutes for Culture (EUNIC) network in Ukraine. This is a folow-up event to the study trip of the 23 representatives of the cultural sector from Armenia, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine introduced to a number of cultural producers and venues round Slovenia, hosted by Motovila in 2017.

Culture.si database of worldwide events comprises a dozen of events presenting artists from Slovenia to Ukraine audiences, taking place in Kyviv, Lvov, Kharkiv and Odesa (see the righ-hand column). We can spot a few festivals with Slovene participation: the Molodist Film Festival, the Lviv International Literary Festival, and the Two Days and Two Nights of New Music Festival. Kyviv public was promptly introduced to Edward Clug's Radio and Juliet choreography, and Kharkiv saw the live feat by Laibach, however the literary events prevail. A significant role play the Slovene Embassy and Consulates in Ukraine, as well as the Slovenian Language Departments at the Kyviv and Lvov Universities. In May 2018 the ZRC SAZU published the Ukrainian-Slovene dictionary and its Slovene-Ukrainian version.

Back to Slovenia: from web news (Kulturnik.si) we get a prompt insight into a line of creators from Ukraine hosted in Slovenia, and a list of interested reviews and interviews. Let us mention only the 2016–2018 feats: a metal group Jinjer (MetalDays, Tolmin), Dakh Daughers, a girls-actress band from Dakh Theatre (Okarina Festival Bled), and Laibach accompanied by the Lviv Philharmonic Orchestra in Križanke (Festival Ljubljana). Koloah, an electronic music producer, Sasho Yerchenko from the Atlas Weekend Festival and Dartsya Tarkovska (agency Soundbuzz) were guest of a progressive platform MENT Ljubljana, while the Ljubljana Jazz Festival staged a midnight continuous music piano concert by Lubomyr Melnyk. We saw films by Sergey Loznica and documentaries by Alisa Kovalenko. In Tobačna 001 Cultural Centre two exhibitions by Anna Zvyagintseva (Hudrada group) and Nikite Kadan (Revolutionary Experimental Space group) followed their 2-month residency in Ljubljana. Contemporary writers translated are Serhiy Zhadan, Andrey Kurkov and Yurii Andrukhovych, who got the Vilenica Award in 2017.
