Project “Traces of Memory: The Funeral Heritage of Zdolbuniv Region in Digital Form”
The project was our civic organization's first attempt to comprehensively document and digitize the burial culture of the Zdolbuniv region, where Ukrainians, Jews, Poles, Germans, and Czechs coexisted throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. The gravestones that have been preserved in local cemeteries are important sources of information about people, their lives, communities, and historical processes.

The Voice from the Underground Project
The Soviet repressive machine left behind not only millions of broken lives, but also deep trauma of oblivion. The spaces of former prisons, destroyed archives, forbidden memories, and decades of silence have turned the memory of repression into a fragmented, often uninterpreted territory.

Concrete festival and installation of the first concrete art figure in Zdolbuniv – “DNA of the City”
The City DNA project is an artistic and educational initiative aimed at creating a unique art object in the city of Zdolbuniv—the first concrete sculpture symbolizing the city's historical identity, which is linked to the cement industry and the railway. The art figure will be installed on the square in front of the railway station, where a Soviet monument once stood, which was successfully decommunized and moved to a museum.

The Holocaust in Volhynia through the eyes of Herman Grebe
The project aims to shed light on little-known aspects of the Holocaust in Volhynia, particularly in the town of Zdolbuniv. During World War II, more than 1,300 Jews were killed here, but this tragic chapter in the region's history has long remained underrepresented and underappreciated.

History in the game: Gurby 1944
The project aims to create a modern cultural product in the form of an interactive game that allows players to rethink and experience the historical events of the Battle of Hurby in 1944, which was the largest battle between the Ukrainian Insurgent Army and the NKVD troops. In the context of modern warfare, this project is particularly relevant as it contributes to the formation of historical consciousness, patriotic education, and the unity of Ukrainian society.

European urbanism in the life of Ukrainian communities: The legacy of Dionysius McCler
The project “European Urbanism in the Life of Ukrainian Communities” is a cultural educational initiative aimed at promoting and preserving the unique heritage of Irish landscape architect Dionysius McCler, who laid out around 40 parks in what is now western Ukraine between 1792 and 1853. These park complexes have become true gems of landscape art and architecture, which still shape the urban landscape of many Ukrainian cities.
