The field of war was one of golden grain beneath an electric blue sky-a potent symbol, but painted in broad strokes. From Yevgenia's vantage, one sees the details: what it feels like to live in Kyiv and interact with the strangers who suddenly become your \"countrymen;\" the struggle to make sense of a good mood on a spring day; the instinctive aversion to being suddenly in the category of \"civilians.\" The diary had a worldwide impact: translated by an anonymous collective of writers on Weibo; read live by Margaret Atwood; used as a slogan for anti-war protests in Berlin; and adapted for an episode of This American Life on NPR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYevgenia was asked to bring the diary to the 2022 Venice Biennale as part of the exhibition \"This is Ukraine: Defending Freedom.\"  In partnership with the Office of the President of Ukraine, the exhibition shows Yevgenia's writing alongside the monumental and emotional art of Nikita Kadan and Lesia Khomenko - all of whom continue to work in wartime Ukraine.  IN THE FACE OF WAR is the official catalog to the exhibition - contextualizing the work of these three young artists in the tradition of Ukrainian culture.  It provides a lucid answer to an age-old question: what is art to do in the face of war?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEditors: Sebastian Clark, India Ennenga. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuthors: Nikita Kadan (artist), Yevgenia Belorusets (artist), Lesia Khomenko (artist), Greg Nissan (translator)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ISOLARII","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49338622574934,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/2121\/9205\/files\/Tavoladadisegno1_ed514583-9239-4a41-a77f-f99a8703654b.png?v=1732203259","url":"https:\/\/todomodo.live\/en\/products\/in-the-face-of-war-ukraine-2022","provider":"Todo Modo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
