Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, violinist Tetiana Martyniuk-Bahrii has faced a challenging refugee life, constantly moving to new accommodations with her family. After a two-year stay in Germany, she expressed gratitude for a cultural residency in Monheim am Rhein, which offers some stability for her and her fellow musicians. As the war continues with no end in sight, she remains committed to promoting Ukrainian culture while grappling with uncertainty regarding her family's future amidst shifting political sentiments toward refugees in Germany.
``As we have faced uncertainty and displacement for over three years, the cultural residency in Monheim am Rhein has provided us with a haven and a sense of stability.``
``While I cherish the opportunity to perform and represent Ukrainian culture, the fear and anxiety about our safety and future remains ever-present.``
