Documenting the War in Ukraine

The war unleashed by the Russian regime against Ukraine has brought devastating consequences, depriving people of their lives, homes and hopes, destroying the country’s economy, environment, cultural and historical sites. Today no one can predict when this war will end. It is time to ask: How will this war be remembered? What needs to be remembered, retold and passed on? What is already being documented, and what is being left out of the view of activists and historians? What narratives are emerging about the war outside of Ukraine, namely in the countries of the European Union?

This discussion is part of the project ReThinking NOW – How Will We Remember the War in Ukraine?
