Scientific conference

In response to the challenges of war, colonial legacy, and the systemic destruction of sacred culture, the scientific conference in Uzhhorod brings together specialists, artists, educators, museum professionals, and legal professionals around the theme of wood art as a key phenomenon of Ukrainian cultural continuity.

The event aims not only to verify sacred heritage, but also to formulate institutional, educational, exhibition, and digital models for its preservation, promotion, and economic viability. For the first time, decorative art is being considered within the framework of current legislation, state cultural policy, and digital transformation.
