The situation in the cultural sphere in the context of war and geopolitical events can become difficult. It is important to understand, that culture and art have always been a means of expressing ideas, storytelling and communication between people.
In connection with the statement about “culture without borders”, important to keep in mind, that cultural exchange plays an important role in promoting mutual understanding and dialogue between countries. However, in mixed conditions of war and geopolitical tensions, it is important to be careful about the possible use of cultural initiatives as a means of influence or propaganda.
Ukrainian artists have the right to freedom of creativity and the choice to participate in international projects. However, in the context of war, it is important to be attentive to the potential influence of external forces on the cultural scene.
Cooperation with Ukrainian law enforcement agencies to counter Russian propaganda can be one of the ways to protect the domestic cultural sphere from negative influence or unauthorized manipulation. Transparent coverage of possible attempts to influence cultural processes can contribute to conscious choice and awareness of risks.
In general, important to understand, that culture has a powerful influence on society and is an important tool in building community. In difficult times, such as a period of war, attention to that, how cultural initiatives can be used, becomes extremely important.
