Our Story
Rukh Art Hub founders Mariia Manuіlenko and Olga Severina are both from Kharkiv, a city in eastern Ukraine that was one of the country’s main cultural centers before the full-scale invasion in February of 2022. Mariia is an art historian and art manager, and Olga Severina is a graphic designer, lecturer, and the founder of a PosterTerritory multi-media platform. Since June 2022, they have organized 11 fundraising exhibitions and auctions of contemporary Ukrainian art in support of Ukraine. At the end of 2023, they founded the Rukh Art Hub creative initiative and consulting platform, which showcases contemporary Ukrainian art for the New York audience and provides career development services for artists and creatives.
