Culture is also a front line in the resistance to Putin’s war.
Under the constant threat of Russian bombing, people are dancing and singing in defiance of the alarms, putting on plays in nuclear shelters, books are published despite paper shortages, street art is painted near the front line, music is recorded, exhibitions are opened in a closed museum, where endangered treasures are safeguarded, camouflage is endlessly sewn in the cellar, and behind the scenes, money is constantly being raised to provide drones and survival kits for soldiers…
Faced with the enemy for whom the Ukrainians supposedly have neither identity nor culture, everyone is fighting. Children and grandmothers too. Our loved ones, our neighbors.
We are Ukraine. We are Europe.
