Our aim is to promote the cultural wealth of both countries, to establish and to deepen the links between cultural heritage institutions and professionals, to facilitate dialogue and exchange of knowledge, and to boost training in cultural heritage conservation. This process has seen steady progressing, with Ukraine striving to be a fully-fledged part of Europe since its post-USSR independence &#8211; but also probably since the Kievan Rus times. We have been successful at establishing a first networking platform for UK and Ukrainian conservators, which was made possible with competitive grant awards from the British Council and the endorsement of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bapcr.org.uk\/\">British Association of Paintings Conservator-Restorers (BAPCR)<\/a> committee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Katya Belaia-Selzer: founder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The core team are: Valeriia Kravchenko: co-founder &amp; freelance paintings conservator with a Masters from the Kyiv National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Ukraine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dr Donatella Banti: freelance paintings conservator &amp; scientist, PhD, MRSC, FHEA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Svitlana Gaga-Sheremetieva: head of the conservation and restoration department of the National Kyiv-Pechersk Historic and Cultural UNESCO Preserve <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We are partners with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icon.org.uk\/resource\/helping-ukrainian-conservators-come-to-uk.html\">Institute of Conservation in the UK<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/theblueshield.org\/\">Blue Shield International<\/a>, working closely with international heritage organisations such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iiconservation.org\/\">IIC<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aliph-foundation.org\/\">ALIPH Foundation<\/a>.

Together with a group of volunteers we have been able to find each one of them a safe home and work opportunities in their specialist disciplines, help them with CVs, organize studio visits and develop their professional networks. We have facilitated various specialist training for the conservator refugees, including the Getty Lining Initiative workshop led by the Courtauld Institute of Art and the Maritime Conservation Studios, London, Courier training by the National Gallery of London art handling team and the National Trust environmental monitoring training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"547\" src=\"https:\/\/www.katyarestoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG-20220629-WA0001-1024x547.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.katyarestoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG-20220629-WA0001-1024x547.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.katyarestoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG-20220629-WA0001-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.katyarestoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG-20220629-WA0001-768x410.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.katyarestoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG-20220629-WA0001-1536x820.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.katyarestoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG-20220629-WA0001.jpg 2045w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sup>Ukrainian conservator refugees visiting the British Museum conservation department, June 2022<\/sup><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>2018: Awarded the Culture Bridges grant from the British Council in Ukraine to allow for our partner, Valeriia Kravchenko, a paintings conservator from Dnipro Sidur Art School and Gallery, to travel to the UK to co-present an original paper \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/archetype.co.uk\/our-titles\/migrants-art-artists-materials-and-ideas-crossing-borders\/?id=287\">Migration of ideas and approaches: tracing conservation practices in Ukraine from the Soviet to contemporary history<\/a>\u201d at a conference organized by the Hamilton Kerr Institute, Cambridge, entitled:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanmovement.cam.ac.uk\/events\/hamilton-kerr\"> Migrants: art, artists, materials and ideas crossing borders<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2016: In collaboration with The British Association of Paintings Conservator-Restorers we were awarded the UA-UK Collaboration Development Award from the British Council as part of its Creative Europe funding scheme aimed at safeguarding and developing European cultural and linguistic diversity and promoting its heritage.
