Culture in War #2

Schwerpunkt 2023: Brüchige Ordnungen
Discussion & Screening

Before Ukraine was invaded by the Russian aggressor, an emerging cultural life was flourishing. During this genocidal war, many art institutions have been working on programs under extremely brutal conditions, helping to keep a civil society and a cultural perspective alive. Alona Karavai and Oleksandr Teliuk talk about their work: Under conditions of war, how is culture possible? What is the meaning of cultural work in this recent context?
