Ukraine Heritage Spotlight: Jam Factory sweetens Lviv’s art scene

For this episode we are in Lviv and visiting the Jam Factory Art Center. This new space in an old and run-down suburb of Ukraine’s western city has been in the making for years. Now it has become Lviv’s most fashionable centre for contemporary artists both from Ukraine and beyond, and has the ambition to become the country’s premier exhibition space.Creating such a massive area for visual and performative art in an old industrial space has proven to be a challenge. However, for the Jam Factory team, nothing seems to be impossible, especially when they have the help of founder and Swiss cultural entrepreneur Harald Binder.John Beauchamp and Katarzyna Jagodzińska, head of the Europa Nostra Heritage Hub for Central and Eastern Europe, meet the Jam Factory’s Executive Director Bozhena Pelenska in Lviv. Artur Wabik  from Kraków’s Comics Museum also joins us for this episode.Throughout the episode we’ll be finding out more on the Jam Factory as well as take a tour of this new state-of-the-art centre. This podcast was produced in the frame of and as an outcome of the European Heritage Hub pilot project co-funded by the European Union.
