Can art influence how the narrative of the war in Ukraine is constructed?
About
Almost three years after Russia invaded Ukraine, numerous works and sites of Ukrainian heritage have been destroyed, damaged or looted. Since the beginning of the conflict, culture has been a key strategic concern in a war that is aimed at eradicating Ukrainian identity. Could artists play a role in this war? How to combine an artistic approach with a political perspective? Can art influence how the war’s narrative is constructed?
