The Visitor‘s program is also a part of a larger project The New Scene of Ukraine conducted by BLOCKFREI in partnership with several other partners from Ukraine (Plan B Festival, Ukrainian Institute, Biennale for Young Art and IZOLYATSIA), created in the light of 2019 – the bilateral Year of Culture between Ukraine and Austria with the aim to enable mobility enhancement, internationalisation and network creation among the curators, artists, art critics, art educators and producers in the field contemporary art scene.

Responding to the growing interest for the Ukrainian art scene, the Visitor’s Programme is designed for an international group of selected curators and art critics within the framework of the Education Programme of the Biennale for Young Art to establish. The programme should enable and promote cultural exchange, professional networking and knowledge sharing between peers from different countries.
