MC candidate manifesto:
Museum, history, art, culture, network
My main motivation for submitting my candidacy is the long-standing and unwavering desire to participate in the preservation and promotion of Ukraine's cultural heritage regionally, nationally and internationally, and I hope my years of experience in the field will come in handy.
Since the start of the full-scale invasion, I volunteered for the Museum Crisis Center, which helped collect terrabytes of data on Ukrainian museum collections (for the 4CH project and S-U-C-H-O) and as the head of the Ukrainian Museum Association, I still preserve the network we've formed.
