Essential.

Art has always supported the military in times of war. Songs, poetry, theater, and painting became the voice of a struggling nation and symbols of defiance. During the full-scale war, Ukrainian art became armor for our hearts.

Sensitive

People of art have a special ability to feel deeply and let the pain of others pass through them. Every performance, every word or note performed in front of the soldiers is not just art, but an experience shared with them.

Effective

Music and theater help to reduce stress, improve psychological stability, and promote physical recovery. War is not only a struggle for territory, but also for the feelings of those who wage it.

Cultural Forces: art that heals

Currently, five mobile groups of the Cultural Forces are working with the personnel of the units directly at the frontline: in Kharkiv, Kramatorsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. Two more mobile groups work in hospitals, training and rehabilitation centers.

For the musicians of the Cultural Forces, these performances are the most emotional in their lives; they leave pieces of their hearts there. After all, they have to deal with pain, loss, and fear – and at the same time find the strength to support and give positive emotions.

The psychologists of the War Psychotrauma Institute will now help to work with these experiences to prevent emotional burnout.
