The international music festival MUSIC.UA.WAR has been held since 2022 and is planned to be held until the end of the treacherous war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. First of all, the festival is held as a kind of art therapy for Ukrainians, the presented video clips reflect the pain and horror of war, the resilience and courage of the Ukrainian people, faith in victory and hope for a bright future for Ukraine. Also, the works of the festival are evidence of the war embodied in the audio-visual form of a video clip. The festival gathers participants from different parts of Ukraine, including temporarily occupied territories. The works of other countries reflect the global world support for Ukraine. The first stage of the festival ended in the summer of 2023, MUSIC.UA.WAR II is the second stage, which will be held until March 2024.
