US to take Zelensky’s peace plan to Russia & From Trenches to Trailblazers - Ukraine’s Art Revolution

Day 1,399.


Today, President Zelensky has revealed details of the proposed
peace plan worked out between US and Ukraine delegations last
weekend in Miami, that is due to be put to Russia later
today. 


Plus, since it's Christmas Eve, something a little different: a
special look at the Ukrainian art scene, past and present.


We begin with the generation of Ukrainian artists at the dawn of
the 20th century who helped drive the Modernist movement,
breaking with centuries of figurative tradition and pushing art
decisively into modernity. We examine how artists are later
reclaimed by national narratives – and why – as well as how the
full-scale invasion has reshaped the global art market. We
then turn to Ukraine’s contemporary art scene, focusing on one
young, emerging artist and exploring how their generation, and
their creativity, is being transformed by the war.
