This February, Nova Ukraine is pleased to support the exhibition of the esteemed contemporary Ukrainian artist, Ivan Marchuk. From February 11 through February 24, over 60 of Marchuk’s unique works will be featured at the Palazzo della Cancelleria in the historic Italian city of Rome. Furthermore, an inauguration ceremony for this exhibition will be taking place the day before opening on February 10, 2025. 

Ivan Marchuk is known for his use and development of the artistic technique of plaiting, which he employs to weave the human eye through his complex and magical Ukrainian landscapes and portraits. With his works previously featured in over 200 solo exhibitions on 5 continents around the world, Ivan Marchuk is a celebrated maestro and an important contributor to modern-day Ukrainian art and culture.

Exhibition organizer, Weronika Marczuk, highlights Marchuk’s significance by stating his art is “an opportunity to feel the depth of the Ukrainian soul, its resilience and inexhaustible potential” in which “one can understand where Ukrainians draw their strength from today.” As the third year of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine approaches, Marchuk’s art remains ever-relevant as a testament to the Ukrainian people’s strength of character through the adversities of wartime. 

In partnership with Nova Ukraine, this celebration of Marchuk’s work was made possible thanks to The Friends of Ukraine Organization and with the cooperation of Ambassador Andrii Yurash from the Embassy of Ukraine to the Holy See of the Order of Malta. Furthermore, we invite our supporters to engage with this incredible exhibit, experience Marchuk’s remarkable artworks for themselves, and share their thoughts on social media.

Planning, Not Reacting: Ukraine’s Rescuers and Nova Ukraine Prepare for Winter Side by Side

On the tenth floor of an apartment building on Kyiv's left bank last January, Svitlana could not bathe her three-year-old daughter, Arina, or cook her a hot meal. After strikes on the energy system, they had gone more than three days without heat or electricity, in temperatures as low as -18°C. So she wrapped Arina in layer after layer and took her down ten floors of a dark stairwell to a heated tent that Ukraine's State Emergency Service had set up outside. There they could warm up, eat something hot, charge a phone and talk with a psychologist. Millions of Ukrainian families lived some version of that winter. When the power goes out, heat and water often go with it, elevators stop, and anyone who depends on electricity for medical treatment is suddenly at risk. UNICEF, which documented families like Svitlana's, observed that darkness and freezing temperatures intensify fear and stress for children. For the rescuers of the State Emergency Service, known in Ukraine as DSNS, a winter like that changes the job. They still fight fires and search damaged buildings after attacks. But when power, heat, and water fail, they also put up warming tents, install generators, and help residents get through the outages. Last winter left them, and everyone working alongside them, with a plain lesson: the time to prepare for an emergency is before it happens. Ukraine Is Preparing Earlier This Winter

Scout Camps Help Develop the Leaders of Tomorrow

Nova Ukraine helps Ukraine's next generation build confidence and leadership skills through scholarships to Plast Ukraine and Motley Raccoons summer camps. The future of Ukraine will someday be in the hands of its children, who will soon be the leaders tasked with rebuilding their country. Nova Ukraine supports the development of these young members of society in multiple ways, including through several education initiatives such as this year’s Engineering Week, which reached more than 195,000 students in grades K-12. Just as important as developing their minds, however, is nurturing their spirits and ensuring that they enter adulthood with confidence, hope, and a deep appreciation for their homeland. That is where Nova Ukraine’s partnership with the outdoor leadership camps is playing a key role. This past summer, Nova Ukraine provided full-ride scholarships for 180 children to attend Plast Ukraine summer camps, where children ages 2-18 participated in outdoor adventures. They learned practical skills such as first aid, cooking over campfires, and navigating wilderness trails, and many gained experience leading their own squads.
