Exhibition “Planet – One Earth: Ukraine – Estonia”

The event took place at the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine building at 5 Hrushevsky Street (lobby, 3rd floor) from October 29 to November 1, 2019.

On the initiative of Valery Viktorovich Kolyukh, Member of the Ukrainian Parliament

Art Curator: Alona Yaremchuk and  Mykola Zinchenko, with the support of the Yaremchuk & Partners Legal Consulting Group, the Arsani Auction House, JCI Ukraine, the Estonian Business Association in Ukraine (EBAU), and the International Federation of Art Therapy and Personal Self-Realization.

Objective: To foster and develop relations between Ukraine and Estonia through the exchange of cultural and historical experiences within the framework of cultural diplomacy.

Estonia recognized Ukraine’s independence on December 9, 1991, becoming one of the first countries in the world to do so. Diplomatic relations between Ukraine and the Republic of Estonia were established on January 3, 1992. In August 1993, the Embassy of the Republic of Estonia in Ukraine was opened in Kyiv. On October 1, 1993, the Embassy of Ukraine in Estonia began operations in Tallinn.

The artists presented their works, drawing inspiration from the partnership between the two countries, the global #PeaceIsPossible project, and the Ukrainian project “Planet Earth Is One,” which highlights Ukrainian culture and the cultures of other countries around the world.

Exhibitions have already been held on Cuba, Georgia, Germany, Israel, Canada, Brazil, India, the United States, Iraq, the United Kingdom, and Peru.

Ukraine was represented by artists Anna Chicherina, Maria Chub, and Andriy Kutsachenko.

We got to know Estonia through the paintings of Estonian artists Navitroll and Vladimir Bachu.

During the event, a roundtable discussion was held on the topic: Leadership Through Service.

Participants included Leonid Petrovich Melezhik, CEO of the MGI Group of Companies and Director of Energetichna Verba LLC, Oleg Maslov, a graduate student in the Department of Forest Regeneration and Forest Land Improvement at the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine and a breeder of Ukrainian energy willow varieties, as well as leaders of public associations, political figures, businesspeople, and artists.
