I am co-hosting a very interesting live event this Saturday. I and my colleague Kate Taylor, founder of ArtistsSupportUkraine (instagram) will be talking to 5 artists from Ukraine about the war. Let me give you some background.
On the first day of the invasion of Ukraine, I started the instagram and twitter campaign #Artists4Ukraine. Since then we have been trying to post art, music, poetry and other creative posts that support peace and freedom in Ukraine. One of the most fascinating people I met in the past month is curator extraordinaire Kate Taylor who has had an illustrious career as an art manager, curator, expert on contemporary art, and founder of the agency of cultural management Port.agency. While she has been dealing with bombs and displacement, amazingly she has continued her work and organized several artists through her ArtistsSupportUkraine project.
On Saturday we will have a live event featuring 5 artists from Ukraine hosted by Kate and myself. The online event can be viewed on Youtube and Facebook at 10 AM PST/ 7PM Ukraine/ 10:30PM IST (you can click on "Set Reminder" now for a reminder when the event begins). I hope you will be able to join and see the event. I am looking forward to learning more about the artists, their art and their commentary on the war.
We will be collecting donations for artists so they can continue their vital work. You can make donations through DhunAnand Foundation or through ArtistsSupportUkraine.
Singing oneness!
