“Our lives changed forever on February 24th. Not just the Ukrainian ones, but the European ones as well. While Ukraine is on fire, protecting its own existence, Ukrainian artists become soldiers, fighters, territorial defenders, and volunteers.
We don’t have this illusion that art can be a real weapon right now, same as the words of concern. But it could be the bridge between us and Europe that is finally ready to understand what is so special about Ukraine that the evil empire is ready to start World War III and put the whole world under atomic danger.
Watch Ukrainian short animations from the time “before the war”.”
The programme is curated by Anastasiya Verlinska, programme director of LINOLEUM Contemporary Animation and Media Art Festival from Kyiv.
