"Twenty Years of Revolution and Ten Years of War: Situating Knowledge Production in/about Ukraine"
This talk draws upon twenty years of research and work experience between North America, Eastern Europe and Ukraine. Both challenges and opportunities have emerged for forming more resilient international research, new platforms for communication, and co-creative practices which open dialogue between interlocutors about common interests. The self-determination of individuals through artistic and creative communities becomes generative of emancipatory vocabularies and civic imagination. How have new platforms for artistic communication and co-creative practices shaped possibilities for a shared global ethics in concepts of "democracy" and "empathy," particularly through the 21st century revolutions and war in Ukraine?
