PART OF THE UKRAINIAN PROJECT

Talking Walls: Graffiti from the War


Join us for a compelling online event where we explore graffiti left behind by Russians during the Ukrainian war that is often threatening or boastful about their own brutality.  In April 2022, Ukrainian researchers formed the Wall Evidence project to document Russia's actions and to achieve accountability.  As the archive’s content lead, Roksolana Makar works to uncover patterns, symbols, and narratives of intimidation. Her talk will focus on the influence of popular culture, literature, and propaganda found in Russian messages to Ukrainians and the transformation of public and private space during the occupation. It’s an age-old story that is tragically being repeated today.
