November 15 – Panel Discussion
Preserving National Heritage in Times of War
Starting from February 24, 2022, numerous Ukrainian institutions suffered from military attacks. National archives, libraries, and museums have been partly damaged or, in some cases, completely destroyed. Many unique exhibits and places were lost forever. Among the targeted institutions were the National Literary and Memorial Museum of Hryhorii Skovoroda, Kuindzhi Art Museum, Vasily Tarnovsky Museum of Ukrainian Antiquities, Donetsk Academic Regional Drama Theatre in Mariupol, and Sviatohirsk Cave Monastery. During our panel discussion, we will talk about the Ukrainian experience of preserving national heritage, disaster fundraising, and the digital possibilities for cultural institutions in times of war.
Speaker: Sebastian Majstorovic, an expert in digital history, co-founder of SUCHO (Save Ukrainian Heritage Online)
