The international traveling exhibition elsewhereland. Contemporary Ukrainian perspectives from shifting ground, featuring ten Ukrainian artists, is a collaboration between Office Ukraine / tranzit.at the Federal Ministry of European and International Affairs, and the Federal Ministry of Housing, Arts, Culture, Media, and Sport. It will be on view at Austrian diplomatic missions across Europe and worldwide from early 2026 until the end of 2027.

The exhibition will debut at the Austrian Cultural Forum Budapest marking the first venue of this project.

The opening will take place on January 23, 2026, and the exhibition will be on view until March 6, 2026.

elsewhereland stands for the “other place”, in physical, emotional, and cultural terms. Russia’s war of aggression has forced millions of Ukrainians to leave their homes and live elsewhere, as internally displaced persons or in exile. For many Ukrainian artists, these new places carry the weight of loss and inner turmoil.

Not only the artists but also their works are on the move, traveling internationally, entering new dialogues. In this way, art becomes a means of resistance, reflection, and transformation.
Calling for solidarity with Ukraine, the exhibition offers insights into the inner struggles faced by Ukrainians both within the country and abroad, while also illustrating how displaced persons enrich our societies and compel shifts in social perceptions.
