Art Project
Collaboration with Photographer Fritz Liedtke – Ukraine Portraits Project
In 2025, we also established communication cooperation with American photographer Fritz Liedtke, author of the art project Ukraine Portraits, which captures powerful and inspiring stories of people affected by the war in Ukraine.
Our organization participates in the communication and organizational support of his work in the Czech Republic and invited the author to Plzeň, where he has the opportunity to get to know the local Ukrainian community, artists and cultural environment.
We believe that this project contributes to deeper understanding between Czechs and Ukrainians and strengthens European solidarity through art and personal stories.
Together in Europe
The association Together in Europe – Czech-Ukrainian Cultural Center has long worked to support cultural exchange, education and integration.
Our participation in these events in 2025 shows that even a regional initiative can be part of European cultural and social dialogue. We connect people who believe that Europe is a community of cooperation, empathy and culture.
