In Collaboration with the National Taras Shevchenko Museum and Stus Center

RAVATAR team has poured their hearts and minds into a unique project – the creation of the first-of-its-kind digital resurrection of Taras Shevchenko, embodied as an AI Influencer bearing his name.

This outstanding initiative is the result of a dedicated collaboration among RAVATAR, the Stus Center, and the Taras Shevchenko National Museum (Ukraine). Together, we have crafted an AI representation that not only authentically mirrors Shevchenko’s physical appearance and mannerisms but also encapsulates his extensive literary and artistic oeuvre, including poetry, prose, and paintings.

Dmytro Stus, the General Director of the Taras Shevchenko National Museum, emphasizes the importance of modernizing the presentation of Ukrainian culture: “A contemporary approach is key for drawing the interest of the youth and the global community. This includes translating content with high fidelity, utilizing cutting-edge technology, and adopting engaging formats.”

Through this visionary partnership, we are setting a new standard for cultural preservation and engagement, ensuring that Shevchenko’s legacy resonates with and inspires new generations.
