The 2022 invasion of Ukraine is but the latest act of Russian (Soviet) imperialism, a violence that spans generations and nations. To mark one year since the occupation, we gather to speak out against senseless violence through literature, art and music.

Hear from Armenian, Ukrainian, Russian, Moldovan, Jewish, Syrian, Romani, Greek and American voices and uplift survival in the face of displacement, erasure and genocide.

The event will include presentations of poetry, literary translation, visual art, calligraphy, creative nonfiction, acoustic music and more from migrant cultural workers and their allies. Together we’ll celebrate resilience and resistance and collectively fundraise for Ukraine Trust Chain.

Presenters: Olga Livshin, Julia Kolchinsky Dasbach, Matvei Yankelevich, Raffi Joe Wartanian, Jenny Yurshansky, Oksana Marafioti, Abdulrahman Naanseh
Curator: Tanya Paperny
