With the support of the Ukrainian Institute in Germany and our co-operation partners, the exhibition series on modernist architecture in Ukraine are now on show in Chemnitz, the European Capital of Culture 2025.

The three exemplary exhibition sections show the work of architects of Jewish origin in Lviv, the famous ensemble of Svoboda Square and the Derzhprom building in Kharkiv, and a selection of designs for the Ukrainian State Theatre, which were created in 1930 as part of an international competition. All three themes emphasize the importance of Ukraine in the development of modernist architecture and raise awareness of the shared European heritage of this turbulent period and the devastation of the war in Ukraine.

The exhibition series, funded by the German government, was created in collaboration with Ukrainian and Polish academics. It was developed as part of the 2022 Triennale der Moderne festival and premiered in Berlin, in 2022.
