Talk with co-founder of the Wartime Art Archive
We held a talk to discuss how the Wartime Art Archive is working to capture and preserve contemporary artistic responses to Russia's war of aggression.

Soldiers of Song
We hosted the UK premier of the film, 'Soldiers of Song', with a Q&A with the director, Ryan Smith. The film "Soldiers of Song" is the extraordinary journey of Ukrainian musicians as they unite their nation through the transformative power of music. Weaving together melodies and narratives that resonate with resilience, hope and healing, as they bravely navigate through harrowing challenges, inspiring unity and courage amidst the chaos of war.
