This two-part public forum explores the historical development of Ukraine’s identity manifested in art and fim. Russia’s invasion in Ukraine on February 22, 2022 has upended the international law, challenged the rights of existence of a sovereign state, and brought a humanitarian crisis. Our goal in this public forum is to offer the documentary film-maker Sergei Loznitsa and scholars of Ukrainian art to present their work and voice their position against Russia’s war.

The philosopher Walter Benjamin famously distinguished two different levels of experience: Erlebnis as “lived experience” in its immediate, affective, not-yet-processed reality, and Erfahrung as more self-conscious, theorized, conceptualized experience. This will be a discussion among Ukrainian intellectuals who in most of their lives devote much energy to conceptualizing and theorizing. Now they find themselves in the midst of what is the largest-scale invasion in Europe since the defeat of Nazi Germany.
