Ukrainian Culture and Conversation Table

March 9 marks the 210th anniversary of the birth of Taras Shevchenko, "the serf who created the nation." On the eve of Kobzar's birthday, through Shevchenko's creativity—both poetry and painting—we will try to understand his crystallized vision of Ukraine as a Temple that was lost but will be restored. We will also talk about the modern understanding of the figure of Shevchenko, the image of the poet on the Maidan and during Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and the modern struggle as a common cause and the Testament.

Come talk and learn!

Pizza and drinks provided.

This event will be hosted by Tetiana Hranchak, visiting assistant teaching professor, with support from the SU Ukrainian Club.
