The Center for Urban History is an independent research institution working across several areas: urban history research, digital humanities and archiving, public history, and educational projects. The Center was born in 2004, when Dr. Harald Binder established a private foundation with the intent to create an institutional framework for urban history research in Ukraine.
Since 2009 we see exhibitions at the Center as a way to bring topics that are problematic and have contemporary relevance and a forum for critical reflection on our knowledge about the past. We attempt at expanding thematic scopes and involving new participants into conversations to develop our capacities to revisit settled views and motive for an active rethinking of the past as a part of ongoing dialogue in contemporary societies.
