Ukrainian artists find both refuge and a place to exhibite their art and performance in Türkiye's south coast
Artists fleeing the grinding conflict in Ukraine have found refuge in the resort city of Antalya on Türkiye's south coast, where they have created a new musical scene.
As a dancer, Dmitrienko now performs in several dance groups in Antalya, utilising her prowess to combine local dance moves with Western and Ukrainian traditions. When the summer season ends, she gives private dance lessons to children. "In Türkiye, it seems to me almost everyone dances and practically everyone sings. Wherever you look there will be music playing in a cafe, a passer-by will just come in and start dancing folk dances," Dmitrienko notes."It seems to me that this national spirit, such an attachment to one's identity, has a lot in common with the Ukrainian attitude".
To distract herself from the tragic news coming out of Ukraine, Ekaterina found a music store where local musicians were gathering for jam sessions and joined in. Not long after she created an instrumental ensemble with her co-players, performing Ukrainian and Turkish music.
