The 1991 Project

Amidst the war in Ukraine, the 1991 Project, at Columbia Global Center Paris, has emerged as an essential force in preserving and exploring the country’s rich musical heritage.

Through concerts, discussions, and other convenings, the 1991 Project shines a light on Ukraine’s vibrant musical history, while providing crucial support to Ukrainian musicians impacted by the ongoing conflict. By spotlighting Ukraine's musical connections to both Western Europe and North America, it aims to bridge cultural divides and foster collaboration.

At its heart, the project is guided by social entrepreneurship and feminist leadership principles, ensuring that the work not only promotes artistic excellence but also empowers silenced voices.
