Ukraine’s Cultural Diversity Through the Lens of Literature
A conversation with Bohdana Neborak and Uilleam Blacker. Moderated by Ingunn Lunde.
Cultural diversity is a defining feature of Ukraine and viewed by many as a major source of the Ukrainian people’s remarkable resilience in Russia’s ongoing aggression.
In this conversation, Bohdana Neborak and Uilleam Blacker explore the multicultural borderlands and historical layers that make up the modern Ukrainian state. By discussing literary works that reflect Ukraine’s cultural diversity, they challenge prevailing myths and highlight the increasing visibility and vibrancy of Ukraine’s diverse cultural, linguistic and literary traditions.
Bohdana Neborak is a journalist, editor and curator based in Kyiv. Uilleam Blacker is associate professor of Ukrainian and East European Culture at UCL (London) and a literary translator from Ukrainian. Ingunn Lunde is professor of Russian at the University of Bergen.
The event is in English.
