On Friday, February 21, gather for Ukraine: Sheltering in Place, a reception featuring poetry, music, and poster presentations marking the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of its neighboring sovereign nation, Ukraine. Ukraine: Sheltering in Place brings together Luisa Muradyan, Julia Kolchinsky and Olena Mladenova, all Ukrainian-born artists currently living in the U.S., with an exhibit by Olga Morozova and poster presentations from Global Arts + Humanities Discovery Theme (GAHDT) graduate students from the Armed Conflicts and Im/mobility: The Courage, Creativity, and Resilience of People Remaining in Conflict and Disaster Zones special grants initiative. The two-year Armed Conflicts and Im/mobility project explored conflict and disaster zones across the globe, but the impetus for it came in great part after the February 24, 2022, invasion of Ukraine.mershoncenter.osu.edu/events/ukraine-sheltering-place-reception
In light of the uncertainty surrounding US support for Ukraine, we invite everyone to come together for a rally marking three years since Russia’s Full-Scale invasion of Ukraine. Many predicted that Ukraine would fall in three days, yet here we are, three years later, with Ukraine standing strong despite immense challenges! The world has witnessed the bravery, strength, and dedication of the Ukrainian people. However, the world seems to be less and less concerned about Russian cruelty, inhumanity, and Russia’s war crimes.Let’s unite to remind our government that Ukraine’s victory is our priority, and we stand with Ukraine!Bring your banners in support of Ukraine! Join us in this rally for a brighter future. #USreclaimgloballeadership #LetUkraineStrikeBack
