We are shocked by what is happening in Ukraine. This is a terrible situation and we want to try to help those affected. That is why we have compiled a number of resources to help artists, creatives, cultural workers and others arriving in Berlin from Ukraine.
We will try our best to keep this site continuously updated. Please reach out to us here if you want to contribute more resources or know of potential collaborators.
