Anna Lutsiuk’s stay as KROKODIL’s Writer-in-Residence is realized within the framework of the Spaces of Freedom project. 
Association KROKODIL, as an independent organization from Belgrade with literary, artistic and socio-political activities has decided to provide shelter and support to Ukrainian literary creators on top of other activities related to Ukraine such as collecting humanitarian help for the City Perinatal center in Kharkiv etc. Being that a large number of Ukrainian writers have been offered similar programs in many European countries, we decided to open the doors of our residence for writers to all literary creators (including, besides prose writers and poets, also essayists, translators, editors, cultural journalists, comic book authors, theoreticians, columnists, singer-songwriters, rappers, spoken word performers, etc.).
This project of the Association KROKODIL is supported by: The European Cultural Foundation and Heinrich Böll Foundation.
Organization of events with residents in KROKODIL’s Center is supported by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED).
