Professor Anna Mlasowsky joins international glass art project with Ukrainian veterans

The project will take place in Lviv, Ukraine, where the participants will collaborate to create new artworks in glass.

The veterans' own voices and experiences are put at its centre. Through conversations and in-depth interviews, the artists will explore their stories, memories, dreams and visions of the future, translating them into glass artworks through a process of dialogue and co-creation. Rather than focusing solely on the trauma of war, the project seeks to tell stories about life before, during and after conflict, highlighting individual identity, resilience and the possibility of rebuilding life.

Anna Mlasowsky, German artist and Professor of Glass and Ceramics at Konstfack, is among the invited international glass artists, alongside colleagues from Bulgaria, Iceland, New Zealand, Latvia and Romania, as well as Ukrainian artists. Together with the veterans, they will work at the Lviv National Academy of Arts, home to Ukraine's only department dedicated to glass art.

The resulting works will be installed in public spaces belonging to the First Medical Union of Lviv. The project will also produce a bilingual publication and ten video episodes documenting the participants' stories and the artistic process.
