Description
Join us for a stirring conversation about the arts in contemporary Ukraine—and about displacement, loss, and cultural resilience in times of war. Lviv-based essayist , Lviv-based poet and author of A Field of Foundlings , and UCSD professor (moderator) will gather to discuss how Ukrainian artists and writers have helped shape independent, multicultural national identities, from the collapse of the Soviet Union to the Maidan protests of 2013–14, and through Russia’s invasion of eastern Ukraine in 2014 and full-scale war beginning in 2022. Traditional Petrykivka artworks by Halych-born and Santa Monica–based artist will be on display. Dovzhyk and Starovoyt—members of PEN Ukraine—will read from their works.
