„My favorite Ukrainian word. Ukrainian students describe their favorite word“
Exhibition in the University Library, 8.4.-14.6.2024
In summer 2022, Ukrainian students of German philology and translation studies were asked to present their favorite word from the Ukrainian language and explain why they chose it. This took place as part of the DAAD-funded partnership between German Studies institutes at Ruhr University Bochum and Taras Shevchenko University in Kyiv.
The resulting texts are full of poetry and beauty, reflecting the sound and meaning of the Ukrainian language. They show how the young Ukrainian generation perceives its culture, history and identity and give an insight into the turbulent soul of a nation fighting for its freedom.
The interactive exhibition in the staircase of the university library presents seventy texts written in German and invites visitors to read and listen.
More information about the exhibition can be found here.
The book of the same name also appeared as an Open-Access-Publication.
