Art Practices in the Times of War: Ukrainian Artists And Authors Residency

NGO Cultural Traffic (Ukraine) and The Centre for Art and Politics at the University of St Andrews invite you to join a roundtable discussion with Ukrainian artists and creative authors who have chosen to stay in Ukraine and continue their creative practices in the country during the war.

In June of 2022, NGO Cultural Traffic organised a series of pop-up residencies for artists and other creatives in the Carpathian Mountains, a relatively safe area in western Ukraine. Organized by Olena Kasperovych, an art curator from Kharkiv, the residencies did not require artists to create any “finished products” (artworks, exhibitions, texts), but instead offered them a space to recuperate artistically, physically and mentally.

At this talk, we have invited the participants of the pop-up residencies in Vyzhnytsa and Creative Rural Hub to reflect on their art and working process in the times of war. They will discuss how they are processing displacement, grief and a sense of loss through art and text. At the roundtable, we will also open a wider discussion on Ukrainian contemporary art and literature, allowing the audience to ask questions about particular works, creative processes and practices, the challenges and opportunities that arise in our understanding of Ukrainian art life and, finally, what this war means for a wider world of art and culture.

You can read more about the artists and see some of their work on our Art Practices in Times of War page here.
