Recording: Life and culture in Ukraine amid war (Patreon)

Dear Kyiv Independent community members,

Thank you to everyone who attended our last event and to those who sent in questions! We were also happy to see people invited friends. We plan to do more “plus one” events in the future as we believe that journalism should be accessible.

During the event, Toma and Oleksiy discussed how day-to-day life has changed since the start of the full-scale invasion and how they cope with the stress of the war. They also discussed how attitudes towards language and the arts have changed, and recommended some of their favorite Ukrainian books and art galleries. For those unable to attend, the recording is attached.

We received a lot of requests for recommendations for books, art, and music, and we are working on compiling a list for you. We also noticed there was a lot of interest in a community event about Ukrainian history, and we will also work to make this happen.

Thank you for your suggestions and your support! Events like these wouldn’t be possible without you.

Hope to see you at the next event!
