Our gathering not only bathes life in brilliance but also commemorates the fortitude and indomitable spirit of Ukraine. We aspire to bolster Ukrainian culture and art amidst these challenging circumstances while engaging the global creative community in this endeavor.”

UART MEDIA FEST is part of the Gulliver shopping center’s 11th-anniversary festivities this October, blending traditional art with futuristic digital installations around the theme of artificial intelligence.

Last year’s festival, marking Gulliver’s 10th anniversary, was a huge success, attracting 22 artists from various countries. The unique styles and concepts of their works, viewed by over 1,000 in-person attendees and 4,000 online viewers, set a new benchmark for cultural events in Ukraine.

“The occasion will be underscored by a charitable initiative during the celebratory concert featuring luminaries from the Ukrainian entertainment sphere. Through this collective effort, we aim to extend support to one of Ukraine's humanitarian missions.”
