The third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine highlights a challenging shift in US support as the Trump administration aligns with views undermining Ukraine's leadership. Cultural organizations in Ukraine, such as MOCA, are now battling not just military aggression but also diminished international backing, leading to creative responses to existential threats. Their recent handbook offers practical advice for artists navigating occupation and severe political turmoil, signifying a commitment to cultural expressions despite daunting circumstances. The evolving geopolitical landscape presents unique challenges for Ukrainian cultural advocates, emphasizing resilience and adaptation while maintaining their identity.
As the Trump administration expressed support for Russia, the Museum of Contemporary Art issued a handbook titled Navigating the War as Artists in Ukraine.
Yuliia Hnat of MOCA described the handbook as a survival manual and an assertion of agency in the face of escalating uncertainty.
