The brutal and aggressive war unleashed by Russia in Ukraine on February 24, 2022 is driving more and more people to flee every day and causing massive destruction. How can Ukrainian colleagues continue their work against the backdrop of permanent threats to their lives, historic buildings and collections? What role does cultural and natural heritage play in this war? And what forms of cooperation and resource sharing can museums abroad offer to provide support in solidarity and counter the rise of fascism?

In this session of the Making Museums Matter event series, colleagues from Ukraine, Poland, Germany and Switzerland, among others, will report on their needs, forms of resistance, strategies of networking and possibilities of preservation. We want to talk about traps and gaps in the current wave of solidarity with Ukraine, contribute to the visibility of the work of Ukrainian colleagues, and promote global and local networking of museums and their partners in times of war.
