Russia is systematically destroying Ukrainian cities and the conditions that allow people to live, work, and plan for the future.
This phenomenon is known as urbicide.
What happens to our psyche when a city becomes a target of war?
Can we protect a city simply by being present?
How can we adapt to life under constant threat?
What aspects of our experience today are important to preserve for history?
On October 30, we invite you to the presentation of the second print run of “Kateryna Savenko’s Diary” and a public discussion titled “The City as a Target of War.”
We will discuss the psychological impact of urbicide, the human capacity to adapt, the importance of supporting one another, and ways to preserve the memory of what we are experiencing right now.
The discussion will feature: child and family psychologist and writer Svitlana Roiz, artist Anton Logov, and Natalia Yemchenko, Chair of the Supervisory Board of the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation.
Date of the event: October 30
Location: The Museum of Kyiv History, 7 Bohdana Khmelnytskoho Street
Time: 5:30 PM
Organized by The Museum of Civilian Voices of the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation
