It's all about the fish!

The project of Association of Khabarovsk Krai museums and Grodekovo museum "It's all about the fish" became the winner of the 2nd grant competition of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives and has received financial support of 5,1 million rubles.

The project "It's all about the fish" is a collaboration between museums and representatives of creative businesses. It will unite the museums of Khabarovsk region and creative industries of the region for the creation of new quality products reflecting the regional identity. The image of FISH in its broad understanding of historicity and spiritual culture of the region was chosen as the "business card" of the project.

In the course of the project implementation, a Laboratory of Museum Design will be created on the basis of the Grodekovsky Museum, where the creative community will be offered objects from the ethnographic collection of museums for study, inspiration and collaboration... Projects developed by the residents of the laboratory will undergo expert and audience voting during the presentation of the results of their work in the format of a traveling exhibition. The best ideas of creative products will be realized and presented at the exhibition-festival "IKRA" (Festival of Creative Development Ideas of Amur) together with authentic exhibits from museum collections that served as prototypes for the ideas of the Lab participants.

The project will be a startup for aspiring representatives of the creative industries. It will lay the foundation for mutually beneficial cooperation of cultural institutions and creative industries, the development of regional identity, creative business and tourism in the Khabarovsk region.

Implementation period 01.09.2023 - 30.11.2024
