“Kurazh” without barriers: how to make large-scale events inclusive

Kurazh is a Kyiv scene as its founder, Aliena Gudkova, says. For those who don't know, Kurazh is a flea market with cool antiques. Or, rather, the event began with them, because now it's an art space with cinema and music, dancing and wine. At its basis, Kurazh is a platform for collecting funds that go to charity.

I talked with Aliena Gudkova, who laughs at the fact that for some close friends she is the thrifty Aliena. In fact, Aliena is a natural entrepreneur, event manager, mastermind, and founder of Kurazh. There is a lot to say about the event itself: the guys raise millions to transfer them later to buy medical equipment, to help people with disabilities and the homeless while remaining a commercial story. Rubrika was interested in what is being done at the location to make visiting the event convenient for everyone, including guests in wheelchairs.
