KOLO — CIRCLE for cultural dialogue,and collective creation.
We are a process-driven cultural collective in Paris.
KOLO is a Ukrainian-led space for contemporary culture and community in Paris. We gather artists, audiences, institutions and donors around a shared programme — and around one another.
Dialogue
We connect Ukrainian and international artists, researchers, and creators through continuous dialogue, as the foundation of collaboration, experimentation, and cultural exchange.
Process
We are a process-driven collective where ideas are not fixed outcomes, but evolving practices shaped through research, development, and shared experimentation.
Openness
We create space for Ukrainian culture to speak freely and confidently, while welcoming international voices into an equal and resonant dialogue across languages, disciplines, and formats.
Care & Presence
We build a cultural environment grounded in mutual support, attention, and long-term relationships, where artistic practices evolve through interaction, openness, and shared presence.
