Thinking Through Migration: Artistic Research of/with/by the Ukrainian Diaspora

IN // BETWEEN is a practice-led research collaboration, reimagined since February 2022, unfolding across European cities and online. This project brings together a research group and cultural practitioners from the Ukrainian diaspora to explore migration through creative and critical practices. Using an (im)material artefact “The Suitcase”, they engage in practices of documentation and archiving, writing and drawing, photographing and collecting, reading and talking. These practices initiate critical questions for the online and face-to-face workshops and vice-versa. The goal of IN // BETWEEN is to imagine and build new cultural infrastructures and collaborative frameworks that respond to shared concerns emerging during the research period. Each encounter becomes a geographical and conceptual meeting point, helping to establish a network of creative practitioners, organisations, and institutions. Through this work, IN // BETWEEN aims to develop new, research-driven arts and humanities methodologies that can be sustained actively in, between, and in-between Kharkiv, London, and across Ukraine more broadly.

01. Online and in-person workshops in Innsbruck, Graz, and Vienna, in partnership with local art organisations, for the Ukrainian diaspora. These workshops introduce a research and practice-led methodology that is playful and constructive, focusing on unexpected and surprising encounters through walking in relocated environments. We aim to support Ukrainian artists in sustaining their creative practices while fostering connections with other Ukrainian practitioners across Europe through collaborative art and writing.
