The multimedia exhibition ‘The Immersive World of Taras Shevchenko’ was presented at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris as part of the official programme of the Ukrainian House Volia Space. This is the first Ukrainian cultural hub at the Olympic Games, made possible by the initiative of the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine, the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine, the Olympic team and the Office of the President of Ukraine.
The project ‘Immersive Shevchenko’ was supported by the International Renaissance Foundation and became an important event in the cultural programme. The presentation in Paris was held by Roy Amit, Director of BnF – Bibliothèque nationale de France-Partenariats. After the presentation, guests were able to enjoy a live cello performance by Taras Bervetskyi.
This project is the result of a Canadian-Ukrainian collaboration between the First Charitable Theatre Foundation, RocknLight Multimedia, Kostyuk Productions, and the National Taras Shevchenko Museum. The project was implemented with the support of the International Renaissance Foundation, which confirms the importance of cultural diplomacy and joint efforts to promote Ukrainian cultural heritage in the international arena.
