ORIGAMI for UKRAINE
A new charitable art installation appears on the facade of a Kyiv museum with support from the Andriy Matyukha Foundation
A new charitable art installation has appeared on the facade of a Kyiv museum, supported by the Andriy Matyukha Foundation.
The large-scale art installation "ORIGAMI for UKRAINE" features 5,000 metallic origami birds. Initiated by Belgian designer Charles Kaisin, the project aims to both draw attention through art and raise funds for medical equipment for the Kyiv City Center for Rehabilitation. The installation is mounted on the facade of the Kyiv City Museum of History. It was realized in partnership with the municipalities of Kyiv and Brussels, the Andriy Matyukha Foundation, and other collaborators.
The Andriy Matyukha Foundation consistently supports initiatives focused on Ukraine’s protection and recovery. Its involvement in this project highlights the value of collaboration and solidarity with Ukraine during trying times.
“Even a simple image like an origami bird can carry a powerful message — one of support, care, and faith in life. For us, this project is not only about art — it’s about hope and resilience, something you can feel simply by passing by the museum in the heart of Kyiv,” shared the Andriy Matyukha Foundation.
"ORIGAMI for UKRAINE" has become more than just an art piece — it’s a symbol of unity and support, bringing together international partners and the Ukrainian public.
The 5,000 metallic origami birds are part of a charitable initiative led by Belgian designer Charles Kaisin.
Charles Kaisin is a renowned Belgian artist and designer who works at the crossroads of art, architecture, and social engagement. He has previously collaborated with Hermès, Rolls-Royce, Cartier, and Ice-Watch.
“We are truly grateful for the opportunity to realize this project with such an exceptional artist as Charles Kaisin. It’s an honor to work with someone whose creativity draws global attention to meaningful causes. This collaboration is inspiring and opens new doors for future initiatives,” said Andriy Matyukha.
