Panel: The War in Ukraine and the Future of European Memory


The war in Ukraine is first and foremost a deep tragedy for the citizens of this European country. Not only are countless people killed and injured, buildings are irreversibly damaged, the war also affects the current and future memory of Europe. Statues and cultural objects are wrapped to protect them from destruction. Other monuments are removed because they refer to a past that people no longer want to see as shared. Also, if the war ever ends, new forms of cultural memory will be established. 

Speaker


In this closing lecture, the speaker will discuss the current situation and the future of memory in Europe:

•   Vasyl Cherepanyn, Director, Visual Culture Research Center, Kyiv


Moderator


Maria Hlavajova, General and Artistic Director of BAK
