More than 70 artists and fashion designers, as well as 10 social and business initiatives, participate in this charity event, named after the traditional Ukrainian rag doll.
This doll, called motanka, has symbolized protection, happiness and harmony in Ukrainian culture for centuries. It is a living testimony to the cultural richness of the region.
This special event is designed and implemented by Mizelium e.V., an international organization committed to positive social change.
The organizers of the festival aim not only to celebrate the diverse European culture, but also to promote understanding and connection between people from different backgrounds. The festival creates an inclusive environment where people can come together to share.
The Motanka Festival is committed to raising awareness of social and humanitarian issues through artistic performances and presentations.
In addition, it should promote artistic cooperation and networking between different actors and groups. The proceeds from the art auctions and donations are intended to provide direct financial support to non-profit organizations and projects. This makes the festival a place of inspiration, cultural connection and social engagement.
