Culture Against Aggression. Documentation of Ukraine

A research and documentary project in a podcast format on how Ukrainian culture is responding to the war and how it is created during the war.

Research and documentation of this process is extremely relevant, as well as the formation of cultural self-identity and a clear common message beyond the country.
