This anthology focuses on the changes that the war in Ukraine has brought upon its people’s personal experiences, views, thoughts, ideas, and values.

This war has changed Ukrainian lifestyles and the perception of culture and its practices in the arts, architecture, cultural heritage, memorialization, history, etc. Artists, researchers, critics, journalists, curators, and cultural managers are now undergoing new experiences that are transforming their personal and professional perspectives.

In this book, the contributors present ten essays that tell stories about people leaving their homes and reinventing themselves intellectually and professionally, about the emotional burden of witnessing and attempts to explain the radical experience of war and its cultural contexts to people outside Ukraine, and aboutfinding one’s own voice in a world that has drastically changed forever.
