"Voices of Dignity" is the Copenhagen edition of the international initiative "Worldwide Reading of Ukrainian Literature."
"The brutality of Russian aggression over the past two years has often left the Ukrainian people without a voice, making it difficult to express the war's impact on daily life and hope for the future. Ukrainians have reassessed the value of several words that are often taken for granted in other countries: the concept of home, dignity, freedom, light, darkness, goodness and humanity.It is thanks to the modern Ukrainian generation of poets and writers that we often regain the ability to express what we feel and how to go on the fight for freedom against all odds. I am very happy that we are able to make the Danish audience aware of the voices of the brilliant Ukrainian writers. I am especially grateful to our partners and the Danish actors who will recite the Ukrainian authors' works in Danish and English in a unique act of solidarity with Ukraine," says Nataliia Popovych, head of Ukraine House in Denmark.
Renowned Ukrainian and Danish artists join forces
After Ukrainian Ambassador Andriy Yanevskyi's welcome speech, six prominent Ukrainian poets - Kateryna Kalytko, Iya Kiva, Halyna Kruk, Iryna Tsilyk, Iryna Shuvalova and Oleksandr Mykhed - will read their works in Ukrainian accompanied by a musical arrangement led by Olesya Zdorovetska. Their poetry and prose will also be recited in Danish and English by renowned Danish actors and special guests, including Ghita Nørby, Sofie Gråbøl and Claes Bang.
Regional head of the Danish Cultural Institute, Henriette Borg Reinholdt:
"That such strong Ukrainian writers and Danish actors come together to give a voice to the Ukrainian people, I think is not only beautiful, but extremely important. Here, on the second anniversary of the full-scale war, our support for the Ukrainian people and cultural life must never be doubted, therefore we are happy to send a clear message of solidarity to Ukraine via this event: We stand with you"
Theater manager for Mungo Park, Martin Lyngbo:
"Ukrainian writers fight every day to make the pen mightier than the sword. It is a fight that we at Mungo Park would like to support if we can.”

"Cultural cleansing is an instrument of war; it is a tool wielded by the Russian Federation against the Ukrainian people." - Visit of Ukrainian MP Yevheniia Kravchuk, Member of the Cultural Committee of PACE, to Ukraine House in Denmark31.5.2024 07:30:00 CEST | Pressemeddelelse

The discussion addressed the challenges and opportunities of safeguarding culture amidst the Russian aggression against Ukraine.
