Darja Lukjanenko’s lecture is related to the artist work of laureate Olga
Krykun, who responds to issues such as post-digital intimacy and shared values
and cultural identity.
The culture as a riot: Ukrainian culture in resistance to Imperialism. Decolonization process and its acceleration. The art was lost and created during the Russian war in Ukraine. Insights from the Ukrainian contemporary art scene. Manifests and love letters from hell.
The day before the full-scale invasion, the war criminal president of Russia made a speech insisting Ukraine should not exist, just as Ukrainian identity. However, it’s not the first case Ukrainian culture got attacked. One hundred thirty-four cases of Ukrainian cultural suppression have been known over the last 400 years. Constant confrontation with Imperialism pressure, eternal struggle for independence, and desperate attempts to preserve the heritage made Ukrainian culture a tool of resistance, a way of protest, and a collective manifest of freedom. Apparently, one of the best things we can do now to contribute against Imperialism and against Russian colonial ambition is to support Ukrainian identity: with our word and attention.
