Awakening · Since 2024
Art can awaken what life has silenced.
Awakening is a Brussels-based cultural organisation founded in 2024. Through exhibitions, literature, cinema, dialogue and creative encounters, we bring people together around the restorative and connecting power of art.
Rooted in Ukrainian culture and open to Europe and the world, Awakening creates spaces for discovery, resilience and new beginnings.
