The art marathon "Generations of War" started in December 2023 and is planned to be held until the end of the war. The project acts as art therapy for Ukrainians, collects artistic testimonies of the war and demonstrates them to the world, calling for support for Ukraine in the fight against the invader. The project presents works by Ukrainians who have been living under bombardment in their cities and villages for the fourth year, internally displaced persons and those who have been forced to leave the country, as well as artists from other countries, which demonstrates international support for Ukraine.

During the art marathon, more than 1,000 artists from 20 countries took part in it, including Ukraine, the USA, Canada, Albania, Montenegro, Romania, Poland, Latvia, France and others. The project is part of the International Art Festival MALYUY.UA.WAR, which has been ongoing since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, analyzing the change in consciousness of different generations during the war.

During this period, more than 60 exhibitions and cultural diplomacy events were held in 17 countries around the world, including the USA, Switzerland, the Vatican, Japan, China, Poland and Argentina.

The project is organized by the Association for the Development of International Relations ADRUM and promoted and produced by the STUDIORAR company with the assistance of the Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Kyiv City Government.
