The latest webinar in the Radical Hope in Feverish Times series is available to be viewed. It is on the topic “Is Global Solidarity Possible Amidst the Radical Simultaneity of Crises?: Ukrainian Perspectives.”
This webinar features a panel of Ukrainian scholars and artists connected to the volume Terra Invicta: Ukrainian Wartime Reimaginings for a Habitable Earth speaking on the “multipolarizing” world order, the rise of authoritarianism and neo-imperialism, and connections between the Russo-Ukrainian war and other world events, from Gaza to Iran to Venezuela. What can a Ukrainian wartime perspective offer toward a global understanding of the crises currently facing humanity? What place do notions of sovereignty, “ecosovereignty,” and the connections between ecocide and genocide play in conflicts around the world?
Speakers include filmmaker Oleksiy Radynski (Chornobyl 22, Special Operation), literary scholar Darya Tsymbalyuk (author of Ecocide in Ukraine: The Environmental Cost of Russia’s War), media theorist Asia Bazdyrieva, visual artists Nikita Kadan, Taras Polataiko, and Yuri Yefanov, cultural geographer Iryna Zamuruieva, and curator and art theorist Olena Chervonik. with an introduction and facilitation by Terra Invicta editor Adrian Ivakhiv.
