Memory of Life: How We Commemorate What Hurts, and What It Says About Our Tomorrow

“Memory of Life: How We Commemorate What Hurts, and What It Says About Our Tomorrow” — a public interview with Kateryna Datsenko, co-founder of the NGO Vshanuĭ, will take place at the Museum of Civilian Voices of the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation.

At a time when Ukrainian society is rethinking its history and seeking ways to preserve collective memory, the topic of honoring what has been lived through takes on special significance.

How can we speak about painful experiences without losing our humanity?
How can we remember in a way that helps us move forward?
A conversation on these questions with Kateryna Datsenko, co-founder of the NGO Vshanuĭ, will continue a series of public interviews dedicated to the creation of a national archive (repository) of war testimonies.

The NGO Vshanuĭ develops a culture of remembrance of fallen defenders and supports their families, combining state and civic memorial practices. Among its initiatives are the nationwide Moment of Silence and public campaigns that remind us of the price of freedom.

The public talk with Kateryna Datsenko will take place at the Museum of the History of Kyiv.
The interview will be moderated by Natalia Yemchenko, Director of Communications at SCM and Chair of the Supervisory Board of the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation.

The discussion will address the following topics:
— What tools and mechanisms help establish the nationwide Moment of Silence as a lasting tradition?
— What shapes the culture of remembrance, and why is it important for ritual to be not only a symbol but also an act?
— What experience does Vshanuĭ have in cooperating with state institutions, and what should be the role of government in shaping national memory policy?

Admission is free with registration.
When: October 29 — registration at 17:30, event at 18:00
Where: Museum of the History of Kyiv
