Join us for a profound lecture exploring the Ukrainian Executed Renaissance movement, a significant cultural and artistic phenomenon of the 1920s and 1930s, characterized by its vibrant literary and artistic expression. This session will delve into the lives and works of key writers and poets who contributed to this rich period, only to face tragic fates due to political repression.

We will focus on notable writers and poets, such as Mykola Khvylovy, Vasyl Stus, and others, whose works captured the spirit of hope and creativity despite the looming threats of repression.

This lecture aims to shed light on a pivotal yet often overlooked chapter of Ukrainian history, highlighting the resilience of artists and their enduring legacy in the face of adversity.

 

All funds go to Dobro New England to support humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
