War. Witness. Heroic resistance. From the early 20th century to today, Ukrainian playwrights have epitomized their fellow compatriots' distinct grit, humour and imagination through challenging and troubling times.
Curator Andrew Kushnir leads a dialogue with Mariya Khomutova, Marko Robert Stech, Molly Flynn and Uilleam Blacker on how Ukraine has been historically impacted by cultural imperialism, how artists have been critical to Ukraine’s fight for independence and freedom, ending with thoughts on what solidarity can look like on the cultural front of this war.
The panel was a part of the play-reading series Encountering Ukraine: Readings in Solidarity.
