CANCELLED Life in Spite of Everything. A Tale from the Ukrainian East, Victoria Donovan

Join Victoria Donovan for a talk lifting the lid on the lived reality of Putin’s war in Ukraine.

Donovan travelled from the dramatic, jagged peaks of Bilokuzmynikvka to the marshland of Mariupol, uncovering a rich, multicultural history of Ukraine’s eastern region – Donbas – learning how the physical terrain has informed its identity.

But above all else, by speaking to those whose lives are embedded there now – curators, artists, railway workers, young people who have grown up amidst instability and destruction, Donovan amplifies local voices, and reveals the intense personal experiences of Russia’s war against Ukraine.
