Ukraine House in Denmark brings architecture back to the iconic Gammel Dok
Ukraine House in Denmark opened an architecture exhibition “SPACES OF DIGNITY: HOW ARCHITECTURE HEALS THE WOUNDS OF WAR” curated by art critic and cultural manager Katya Stukalova It is a part of Copenhagen Architecture Festival.
“Spaces of Dignity” aims to amplify the Ukrainian voices, highlight their experiences and inspire new creative solutions to the many challenges the reconstruction of Ukraine faces today.
“This exhibition is about architecture, but not just about the architecture of residential buildings and public spaces, cities and villages; most importantly, it is about the architecture of society. A society that is saturated with horizontal connections between people, organizations, and initiatives. A society that is constantly building new connections - between different generations, different social levels, different experiences. Rebuilding Ukraine will not be an easy task - the level of damage and trauma brought upon our land, our heritage, our infrastructure and our demography is devastating. But the rebuilding on a symbolic level - reconstruction of the damaged social fabric and creation of a new one - has already begun”, Katya Stukalova explained.
When Ukrainians think about architecture today – they think on how to protect the architectural treasures they have, admitted Nataliya Popovych, the chairperson of Ukraine House in Denmark.
“At the same time, we treasure every single simple civilian building because this is where people have led lives that have been brutally disrupted by the Russian aggressions. And we think on how architectural solutions right now and in the future can help address the needs of over 8 million Ukrainians who have fled the war to other countries as well as another 15 millions of Ukrainians who have become internally displaced people”, Nataliia Popovych said.
Exhibition will run until August 10th.Opening hours from 12:00 till 18:00 every day except Monday.
PARTICIPANTS: balbek bureau, Urban Reform, Drozdov & Partners, Replus bureau, Álla Studio, Ponomarenko Bureau, ZIKZAK Architects, MetaLab, Repair Together, Brave to Rebuild, Skeiron, Center for Spatial Technologies, Peremebli etc.

Ukraine House in Denmark Hosts Chornobyl Legacy Discussion with Professor Serhii Plokhy7.5.2025 08:00:00 CEST | Press release
On Sunday, April 27, Ukraine House in Denmark had the honour of hosting a discussion dedicated to the legacy and present-day relevance of the Chornobyl disaster. We were privileged to welcome Professor Serhii Plokhii, Director of the Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University and a globally recognized authority on nuclear catastrophes. Professor Plokhii, who joined us at the opening of Ukraine House, opened by reminding us that “authoritarian regimes are there to create disasters—small disasters and big disasters—and Chornobyl is about a big disaster that can destroy life on Earth.” He went on to draw a chilling parallel between 1986 and 2022: “The most disturbing part of that new Chornobyl crisis that emerged in 2022 was that it was caused by the very same phenomenon—the authoritarian regime that has complete disregard for norms of international law, for human life, for environmental concerns.”
II Forum “Decolonizing Mindsets for Security in Europe” Calls for Urgent Cultural Reframing to Strengthen Democracy2.5.2025 08:00:00 CEST | Press release
On April 25, Ukraine House in Denmark hosted the second edition of the Forum “Decolonizing Mindsets for Security in Europe,” convening leading cultural and political thinkers to examine how colonial legacies shape memory, policy, and Europe’s security landscape. “At a time when cultural policy, memory, and history shape the global struggle for freedom and democracy, it's vital to reflect critically on the narratives that define how we see the US, Europe, Ukraine, and Russia. For Ukrainians, decolonisation means uncovering layers of russification and reclaiming our history, culture, and decision-making free from Russian-centric optics. But Ukraine’s security also depends on the willingness of democratic allies to emancipate themselves from cultural superpower biases—to recognise Ukrainian contributions to world heritage and engage with Ukraine as an equal partner in defending dignity and democracy. That’s why we will continue to foster dialogue around decolonizing mindsets—because only
Making Russia Pay – International Accountability Pathways to Justice discussed at Ukraine House Panel16.4.2025 08:01:53 CEST | Press release
As Russia’s war enters its third year, the question isn’t whether Ukraine will endure—but whether justice will. On April 9, Ukraine House in Denmark, in partnership with the Alliance of Democracies Foundation, convened a public discussion, “Establishing Accountability for Russia’s Actions in Ukraine”, with a sharp focus: how the world can make Russia pay—literally and legally—for its aggression. Featuring Jonas Parello-Plesner, Executive Director of the Alliance of Democracies Foundation, and Julia Kyrpa, Board Member of the Register of Damage for Ukraine (RD4U), the conversation illuminated a fast-moving and historic effort: building an international compensation system without Russia’s consent.

Copenhagen, Denmark – April 9, 2025 – As the world watches negotiations, ceasefires, and peace talks unfold, the reality on the ground in Ukraine remains stark. More than 180,000 documented war crimes, the forced deportation of at least 19,546 Ukrainian children, and relentless attacks on Ukrainian cities, homes, and infrastructure raise an urgent question: Can there be a just peace without full accountability?
