Charlotte Higgins & Sasha Dovzhyk | Art and Resistance in Ukraine
Sun 22 Nov 2026 | 4:00pm – 5:00pm
In a war fuelled by the attempted erasure of Ukrainian culture, art encapsulates resistance and resilience. In her beautiful and heartbreaking Ukrainian Lessons, Guardian journalist Charlotte Higgins explores the profound connections between war, art and life. Ukrainian writer Sasha Dovzhyk’s Apocalypse Baroque is an astonishing genre-bending anti-memoir that reimagines the lives of contemporary Ukrainians as folk tales. Join Charlotte and Sasha to discuss the risks that artists take – and why culture is worth fighting for.
