Cultural Dialogue of Ukraine in International Exhibition Practices of Visual Art, 2014–2024: A Review of Ukrainian Historiography
(Culturological almanac, 2025) Havrylovych, Serhiy
This article reviews Ukrainian historiography addressing the cultural dialogue in visual art through Ukraine’s participation in international exhibition projects from 2014 to 2024. The study sets the lower chronological boundary in the aftermath of the Revolution of Dignity and the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian War. In contrast, it defines the upper boundary by the need to examine recent shifts in exhibition practices. The authors base the study’s methodological framework on the principles of a comprehensive approach, systematicity, historicism, and objectivity and apply general scientific methods such as analysis and synthesis, functional and evolutionary analysis, periodization, historiographical source criticism, and the problem-chronological method.The article summarizes, systematizes, and analyzes key scholarly works on the subject and highlights their authors’ contributions to understanding the role of visual art as an instrument of cultural diplomacy. Three periods are identified within the defined chronological boundaries, each characterized by a distinct historiographical focus shaped by significant historical events. The study notes the participation of Ukrainian artists in international exhibitions (such as the Venice Biennale and other cultural events) and discusses the interaction between Ukrainian and foreign cultural institutions. It outlines the evolution of academic approaches to the topic, with particular attention to changes in the cultural paradigm following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.The article also identifies prospects for further research, emphasizing the need for deeper exploration of Ukraine’s cultural dialogue within international exhibition practices in the first quarter of the 21st century, based on an expanded source base. The findings provide valuable insights for university education, the organization of cultural initiatives, and the development of new strategies for cultural diplomacy aimed at promoting Ukrainian visual art and enhancing Ukraine’s image in the international cultural space.

Analysis of the Place and Role of Theatre in Cultural Diplomacy: Relations Between Poland and Ukraine (2014-2023)
(Wydział Prawa i Administracji, Uniwersytet Opolski, 2025) Sendetskyy, Andriy
This article presents the results of an interdisciplinary pilot study on the role of theatre in the context of cultural diplomacy between Poland and Ukraine over the past decade. The research period was shaped by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Poland’s ongoing support for Ukraine in its fight against the aggressor. The study explores the role of theatre in shaping international cultural relations, with a particular focus on its use as a tool of cultural diplomacy in Polish-Ukrainian relations. The analysis centres on the interactions between representatives, governments, and cultural institutions of both countries. The article examines the place of theatre in cultural diplomacy between Poland and Ukraine from 2014 to 2023. The research methodology included induction (comparing empirical data); deduction (hypothesis verification); analysis; synthesis; and analogy. A historical-comparative analysis was also conducted, tracking the evolution of cultural relations between Poland and Ukraine. This analysis compares the development of international theatre practices, including festivals, artistic residencies, and cultural exchanges involving artists from both countries. An institutional analysis further identifies the role of specific organizations, their position in cultural diplomacy, and their efforts to strengthen Polish-Ukrainian relations. The article identifies key challenges and obstacles that hinder the execution of Polish-Ukrainian theatre projects within cultural diplomacy. This analysis will assist in developing strategies to overcome these challenges and improve the process of enhancing bilateral relations between Poland and Ukraine in cultural diplomacy.
