Report on the state of culture and NGO in Ukraine is the second report from series of seven diagnosing and presenting the independent culture of the Eastern Partnership countries and Russia.

It was prepared during the project “Report on the state of the independent culture and NGO in the Eastern Partnership countries and Russia”, initiated by Open Culture Foundation. Report was created as a special issue of “Kultura Enter” magazine.

Experts in the area diagnose the situation of culture, alternative culture and NGO in Ukraine in the Report. This is the attempt to present their current situation with reference to the European context and internal conditions in Ukraine. The report provides diagnosis of such subjects as: publishing market, literature, cinema, music scene, art, cultural infrastructure, media, civil society, human rights, education or legal conditions, in which culture and NGO function.

Report on the state of culture and NGO in Ukraine is a proper guide through cultural sector and NGO, composed of articles, analyses, brief reports and interviews with renowned experts and practitioners of these sectors. Among the authors we have: Zenowij Mazuryk, Ołeksandr Bucenko, Mykoła Riabczuk, Bohdan Szumyłowycz, Jerzy Onuch, Andrij Kurkow, Kateryna Botanowa, Andrij Kohut, Oksana Zabużko, Ołeksandr Myched, Oksana Kiś, Mychajło Brynych, Wołodymyr Tychyj, Piotr Kaźmierkiewicz, Ołeksandr Jewtuszenko, Andrij Lubka, Rüstem Ablâtif, Kateryna Babkina, Terry Sandell.

Majority of authors come from Ukraine. They have undertaken the attempt to answer the three questions: what’s going on?, what do we expect from each other?, how can we achieve it? This attempt to satisfy the questions brings us closer to the often misunderstood and rejected Ukrainian narration in a simple and comprehensible way.

Report was created with the cooperation of Open Culture Foundation, “Kultura Enter” magazine, “Krytyka” magazine (Kiev), Workshops of Culture, Foundation of Manager Initiatives.
