Digital Archive of Ongoing Ukrainian Refugee Journeys: Exploring Influences and Integration

The war in Ukraine has transcended the country's borders, impacting events within the nation and the lives of those connected to Ukraine. The resultant Ukrainian migration, spurred by the Russian war, has fostered new bonds between refugees and their host countries. This migration is not just about geography; it is a complex interplay of influences and adaptations.

These Ukrainian refugee journeys are not solitary: they are a tapestry woven by the contributions of countless individuals and places. The project begins with in-depth interviews, mapping the refugees’ journeys, settling locations, emotional landscapes, the people who host them, and the artifacts  of their journeys. This archive is not just a record; it is a testament to resilience. The project aims to go beyond statistical data, delving into the unique experiences, struggles, and resilience of Ukrainian refugees. It preserves collective memory and identifies migration and integration patterns.
