CHORNOBYL HUB on Andriivskyi Descent

In August 2019 the Hub officially opened to everyone. The opening brought together liquidators, representatives of the Tourism and Promotion Department of the Kyiv City State Administration, members of the Association of Chornobyl Tour Operators, guides and journalists.

Khmarochos wrote that a Chornobyl hub had opened on Andriivskyi Descent and would host all kinds of events on the Chornobyl theme. Vechirnii Kyiv told the story of a place that had stood abandoned for thirty years. A research paper from Radboud University in the Netherlands, on how the image of Chornobyl changed after the HBO series, mentioned the opening of the Hub as an effort to bring the local community and the topic of Chornobyl together.

Since then the Hub has been an open, free space: a coworking place and a venue for learning, presentations, photo exhibitions and meetings.
