The Minister of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine discussed the organization of ArtArmor exhibitions with his French colleague

The Minister of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine Oleksandr Tkachenko met with his French counterpart, the Minister of Culture of France Rima Abdul Malak during a working visit to Paris. The parties discussed current projects and further plans for cooperation between the countries.

 

He shared this on his Facebook page.

 

One of the events was the opening of the exhibition of ancient icons from the collection of the Khanenko Museum “Near the Origins of the sacred image” in the Paris Louvre. These are 5 of 16 masterpieces brought from Kyiv to Paris.

 

In addition, the head of the Ministry of Culture presented one of the works of the ArtArmor project to Rimi Abdul Malak. This is the icon “Mother of God Softening Evil Hearts”. It was written on the armor plate, which saved the life of the defender of Ukraine, within the framework of our sub-project “Spiritual Victory”.

 

Among the events in support of Ukraine, which are planned to be organized in France, is the holding of ArtArmor exhibitions. This was one of the topics discussed by the heads of the Ministries of Culture of Ukraine and France.

Famous Ukrainian graphic designer Mykola Kovalenko joined the ArtArmor project

Graphic designer Mykola Kovalenko creates posters dedicated to Ukraine every day since the beginning of the full-scale war. His goal is to draw the world’s attention to events in his native country.

 

The artist turned one of the armor plates that saved the life of the defender of Ukraine into an art object as part of the project. So now people will be able to see his work at ArtArmor exhibitions.

 

Mykola Kovalenko provided the process of transforming an armored plate into an art object on his Facebook page.

 

“Armor plates, which have already saved someone’s life, can once again help our fighters. All collected funds will be aimed to help the Armed Forces. I am happy to join and support my country in this way!”, Mr. Mykola commented on our cooperation.

 

Even though the Ukrainian artist has been living in Slovakia for several years, he is an ardent patriot of his Motherland. We are grateful to Mykola Kovalenko for his daily support of Ukraine in the information and cultural space, as well as for his participation in our art project.
