烏克蘭 Ukraine

Open Place 是烏克蘭藝術家的倡議活動，致力於建立藝術家與烏克蘭社會間不同層面的深度連結。該平台鼓勵烏克蘭地區及其他國家的藝術家、策展人交換意見、想法，以及兩者之間的相互影響，並鼓勵人們在藝術、政治和社會文化轉型的進程中，建立培養不同觀點的合作關係。Open Place 相信文化扮演非常關鍵的角色，建立公民社會、解決衝突、克服社會中的歧視和狹隘視野。Open Place 不斷研究與尋找藝術機構的形式，並認為藝術機構應該在文化活動中扮演積極的角色，與大環境攜手共創共同價值、參與藝術現象及文化脈絡的發展。自1999年成立以來，Open Place 發展並實踐了許多跨領域的計畫，期許能將藝術的影響範疇推向更寬廣的境界，讓更多人能參與其中。人們集體合作，透過交流和駐村計畫，積極在烏克蘭和國外建立草根倡議網路。
