Ukrainian Culture in the Time of Independence
Ukrainian Culture in the Time of Independence
The Ukrainian cultural space after the Declaration of Independence was heterogeneous: artifacts of Western culture coexisted with Soviet narratives, and a political nation as a civil community had not yet been created.
Yaroslava Strikha, a PhD candidate in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Harvard University and a translator, explains how this was achieved despite economic crises, revolutions, and the Russian war. Learn how the collective traumas of the Soviet past and Russian aggression are being reinterpreted in Ukrainian contemporary art, how the Ukrainian cultural canon is being formed, how different memories coexist, and how our democracy has ensured the success of the Ukrainian project in this lecture.
You can find more materials about Ukrainian culture and its history on our portal https://uculture.com.ua , which contains lectures and interviews with professionals and researchers of Ukrainian culture.
