KHARKIV RESIDENCE "SLOVO"
for artists and scientists
About the Kharkiv residence Slovo:
“Slovo” is a memory that we bring back, a history that can be touched physically. Two iconic places through which we tell the world about cultural Kharkiv. The residence is housed in two memorial apartments: the one of scientist Yuriy Shevelov in the historic Salamander House and the one of 1920s journalist Petro Lisovyi in the legendary Slovo Writers' House. They are also public spaces for art events. The residence invites writers (prose writers, poets, playwrights, screenwriters), humanities scholars, directors, and actors.
Work during the war:
After Russia's full-scale invasion on February 24, the residence is unable to fully perform its functions. Nevertheless, the residence continues to act as a cultural and volunteer hub of Kharkiv on the frontline. We continue to organize events and host residents. Currently, Kharkiv poet and musician Ivan Senin lives and works in Shevelov's apartment, and members of the Ukrainian PEN Club come to us for performances and volunteer trips.
