On Monday, October 21, 6 p.m., the Berlin-based Ukrainian photographer and writer Yevgenia Belorusets (*1980, Kyjiw) will open the public KIU lecture series in the winter semester 2024/2025 at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. The opening lecture will focus on the narrative dimension of the destruction of Ukrainian infrastructure and the question of why it is so difficult to process this destruction in literature.

 

The series forms the first part of a multi-semester lecture series of the Competence Network Interdisciplinary Ukrainian Studies Frankfurt (Oder) - Berlin (KIU), which is organized alternately by the members of the network led by the European University Viadrina.

 

The lecture series entitled “War in Ukraine: Destruction of Heritage - Mastering Legacy” will take place this winter semester on Mondays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in German or English in the auditorium of the Jacob-und-Wilhelm-Grimm-Zentrum of Humboldt-Universität, Geschwister-Scholl-Straße 1-3 in Berlin. 

 

As part of the lecture series, speakers from the fields of science, art and literature, who work on Ukraine from different perspectives, will give lectures on the tension between cultural heritage and legacies in the form of imprints, legacies and traumas. The series consists of various formats: Classic lectures on endangered archives, decommunization and decolonization of Soviet monuments, resistance and resilience of Ukrainian civil society as well as the challenges of reconstruction are flanked by panel discussions and artistic contributions.
