The war is still ongoing, but there is a demand from society for its commemoration. Who should create its framework: the state, society, or the professional community?

We have all found ourselves in a situation where there are no templates of social behaviour to rely on. This is both a collective and personal challenge. How are we changing as a society? What experience will we take with us into the future, shaping a picture of our shared past?<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1999, W. G. Sebald\u2019s book <\/span>On the Natural History of Destruction<\/span><\/i> about the collective memory and amnesia of the Germans after WWII was published. The Ukrainian translation of the book was released by ist publishing<\/a> in 2023. We will take Sebald\u2019s ideas as a starting point in our discussion to talk about the language of literature against the background of disasters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can we laugh during a war? Sometimes laughter is the only thing that keeps us from being afraid. The full-scale invasion provoked a wave of humorous practices in Ukraine. Has there been something fundamentally new in Ukrainian comedy since February 24, 2022?<\/span><\/p>\n

Can we (and should we?) separate art and documentation during an invasion? When it comes to open wounds, we balance between the need to testify and the impossibility of using a person as a tool to achieve a goal. We will not talk about abstract principles but discuss specific cases of the use of documentation that have already shaken Ukrainian society, and we will watch video teasers of an art project at the intersection between documentation and artistic reflection. The panel will also feature the viewing of a teaser of the documentary film by Andrii Lysetskyi under the working title <\/span>Blessed<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speakers:
\n<\/b>Larysa Denysenko<\/b>, writer, lawyer, human rights activist, TV presenter, radio presenter, member of PEN Ukraine; <\/span>Mykhailo Alekseienko<\/b>, artist, initiator and organizer of the Gallery 14 project; <\/span>Dr Olga Balashova<\/b>, art critic, PhD in Philosophy, curator of the Ukrainian Museum of Contemporary Art\/UMCA

The curator is an intermediary between artists, their works, and the audience. How did the curators\u2019 messages change after February 24, 2022? How did they transform during the full-scale invasion inside and outside of Ukraine?<\/span><\/p>\n
