Who are we?
We are an independent not-for-profit arts organisation, bringing Ukrainian artistic and cultural presence into the heart of European cultural life.
FarNear is based on @Nomadische Boekenplank, created by Ihor Sukhorukov in 2023, combined with the artistic practice & projects of Christian van der Kooy and academic research of Dasha Lohvynova.
Ukrainian culture is not seen as an integral part of European culture, while every day our common heritage is being destroyed. Our foundation aims to remove this blind spot while solidifying Ukrainian presence within the European cultural context to create a living dialogue.
Why now?
FarNear exists to bring back lost and forgotten parts of European culture from Ukraine, uncovering shared roots and offering new perspectives. It aims to integrate Ukrainian culture into a broader European cultural context, connecting artists and culture-makers that enrich both sides. At the same time, it brings forward what is contemporary today and what has the potential to become canonical tomorrow.
