‘The Women in Arts Award. The Resistance ceremony’ is the annual independent award honouring Ukrainian women's contribution to culture and the arts.
This year's theme is Hope. Not an escape from pain, not waiting for something, but the daily decision to hope and to create. That is why hope today is another form of resistance. The Award's slogan is a line by Olena Herasymiuk ‘If you'd rather not speak of it — it's all right…’
🤝 The Award was founded in 2019 by UN Women @unwomenukraine in Ukraine and the Ukrainian Institute. UNESCO is a partner of the Award. Over seven years, more than 50 women artists working across different fields of culture have been recognised.
