Holodomor - 90: impact on Ukraine and future of justice
On November 25 at 16:00, we invite you to the commemorative event “Holodomor – 90: impact on Ukraine and the future of justice” at Ukraine House in Denmark. Please join us in lighting candles to commemorate 90 years since the Holodomor, one of the darkest chapters in our nation's history.
Holodomor, also known as the Great Famine of 1932-33, was a man-made famine orchestrated by the Soviet authorities under the orders of Joseph Stalin which killed an estimated 3-7 million Ukrainians by criminalizing food ownership, making emigration impossible and increasing food exports under strict collectivisation policies as villages starved.
In lighting our candles, we will be standing in solidarity with millions of Ukrainians at home and around the world who light candles every year on the fourth Saturday of November at 16:00 to honour the innocent victims of genocide.
A renowned historian and law expert, Dr. Ivan Horodyskyy, founding director of the Law School of the Ukrainian Catholic University, Vice-President of the Ukrainian Bar Association, researcher and author of the book on Rafael Lemkin, will join us from Ukraine to discuss the context and impact of this Soviet crime upon the Ukrainian culture, as well as offer a perspective on the learnings we should be drawing from Holodomor.
The event will be launched by the Ambassador of Ukraine with the participation of the Danish dignitaries, representatives of different faith-based organizations and community leaders, united in a service of remembrance.
It will be a time to reflect, through prayer and dialogue, on the profound lessons of the past and acknowledge the evils of the past to prevent it from happening again in our time. Ukrainian bread, the biggest deficit during Holodomor, as well as Ukrainian wine will be served.

Copenhagen, August 21, 2025 – Ukraine House in Denmark proudly opened “Uncurtained: Ukrainian Art in Danish Collections 1989–2023”, its 11th major exhibition and a landmark research project tracing 35 years of cultural exchange between Denmark and Ukraine. Curated by Kateryna Stukalova, the exhibition brings together over 100 works by 28 Ukrainian artists. In her opening remarks Nataliia Popovych, chairperson of Ukraine House in Denmark, emphasized: “Uncurtained is not just an exhibition — it is a journey through thirty-five years of trust, of Ukrainian art being seen, collected, and preserved in Denmark. Long before the world spoke of the ‘Danish model’ of support for Ukraine, Danish curators, collectors, and institutions chose to trust in Ukrainian creativity — to see our culture as sovereign and distinct. Opening on the eve of Ukraine’s Independence Day, this exhibition stands as a tribute not only to our artists, but to the very idea of independence — a daily choice to defend cultu
Ukraine House i Danmark inviterer til koncert i anledning af Ukraines uafhængighedsdag11.8.2025 08:00:00 CEST | Presseinvitation
En musikalsk hyldest til Ukraines uafhængighedsdag — klange og melodier, der har formet nationen siden genoprettelsen af dens frihed og suverænitet i 1991. Programmet rummer værker af de anerkendte, nutidige ukrainske komponister Valentyn Sylvestrov, Victoria Poleva og Serhiy Zazhytko, side om side med en talentfuld ny generation: Roman Grygoriv, Serhiy Vilka, Andriy Merkhel og Yana Shlyabanska. Den ukrainske musik suppleres af værker af de danske komponister Per Nørgård og Carl Nielsen, som understreger de kulturelle bånd mellem Ukraine og Danmark. En del af koncerten er "A Musical Tribute to Ukrainian Independence" — et lyrisk potpourri af ikoniske ukrainske sange, der følger nationens kulturelle rejse fra begyndelsen af 1990’erne til i dag.

21. august – 23. november 2025 Kurateret af Kateryna Stukalova Ukraine House in Denmark er stolte af at kunne præsentere "Uncurtained: Ukrainsk kunst i danske samlinger 1989-2023", en skelsættende udstilling og et stort forskningsprojekt, der udforsker den rige, men ofte oversete, historie om dansk-ukrainske kulturelle relationer. Gennem ukrainske kunstværker erhvervet i private, offentlige og erhvervsmæssige danske samlinger i løbet af de sidste tre et halve årtier giver Uncurtained et unikt indblik i de kunstneriske og historiske bånd mellem de to nationer og beviser, at den nuværende stærke danske støtte til Ukraine ikke er en ny udvikling.
