The Center for Persecuted Arts is a museum of discovery, dedicated exclusively to artists whose works and opportunities for development were blocked, prevented, and partially destroyed by the dictatorships of the last century and by totalitarian regimes up to the present day. It is an interdisciplinary museum, and its collection of visual art and literature tells of lost and neglected works of art, stories, and fates.

Lifelines. Walking across borders
An arts project by Hanna Melnykova
In the summer of 2025, Ukrainian photographic artist Hanna Melnykova walked from Germany to Ukraine, documenting her "performative walk" through photography. The exhibition shows her artistic exploration of migration, resilience, cultural connection within the current geopolitical landscape. The symbolic meaning of this walk: representing life itself. The route mapped for the project illustrates borders between nations, embodying the divide between past and future, as well as personal and collective transformation.
