 What we'd like to do now is go over to Tatyana Filevskaya. Tatyana is the creative director at the Ukrainian Institute. Tatyana, thank you for joining us. Hi, Simon. Hi, everyone. Nice to be with you. And well, I'm based in Kiev now, so I can say that the weather here is much better than in Lviv. There is no rain and it's another warm autumn evening in Ukraine. And hopefully it will also be peaceful without another rocket attack from Russia. So I was asked to talk more about the context and how the Ukrainian cultural scene is at the moment. And I think that even from the moment when we were starting to work on the paper, up until now things have changed because the situation is so dynamic. There are so many changes that can happen very quickly. And cultural sphere is the one to react very quickly. Again, to anything that's happening, to any new challenges and conditions. And we really have to follow what is happening and what are the challenges and the needs. So for us, in 2022 a lot has changed, but it was not something new. I mean, the war was not something new because the war in Ukraine has started in 2014 when Russia first occupied Crimea and started the war in the east of Ukraine in Donetsk and Luhansk Oblast. So I'm pretty sure that more or less everyone in Ukraine knew what the war was, even if these people or institutions were from west of Ukraine, where actually the front line was very far from. But of course the full-scale invasion of Russia and from the moment when Russian rockets could hit anywhere in Ukraine and there was no safe place in Ukraine has influenced and changed the situation for every person in Ukraine. So the first thing that happened is the relocation when millions of people including thousands of creative people have traveled elsewhere in Ukraine, losing their homes or traveling outside of Ukraine to find themselves safer places. So it cost a big gap between experiences that people started to have after the full-scale invasion started. And as a Ukrainian society, we feel that this gap between different experiences is just getting bigger. So between those people who stayed and those who left, between those who are at the front line and not. So the general situation in society, including arts, is that different of experiences that we are going through. And of course for art institution, institutions as such these teams that were torn apart for quite a long time for many, many experts and professionals who had to leave and are outside of Ukrainian community, cultural community is one of the largest challenges and the biggest challenges that we have to go through. I will not stop here on the cultural damages caused by this war and I will not give you again the numbers of the cultural losses, of the destroyed heritage sites, museums, libraries, this number is still growing every day. And of course this feeling of fragility, of cultural heritage is something that we can feel and see and observe every day. And the need to preserve and the need to hide and protect cultural heritage is a number one issue for each and every Ukrainian. In our international relationship with different partners outside of Ukraine we have gone through also very dynamic change. First we saw this very active, very immediate response that was a response and a way to show the solidarity with Ukrainian Ukrainian culture. And we know that almost every institution in Europe and in America has done something to support Ukraine and has done something to show Ukraine and showcase Ukrainian culture. As we call it, the world has discovered Ukraine and we really hope that this immediate discovery will last and will sustain in a longer interest and in a deeper conversation and in a sustainable partnership. So we saw and felt that this immediate interest needed also a lot of effort from both sides to continue this conversation, to continue collaboration. And we understand that there is a lot of homework that has to be done from Ukrainian side and I think many of the colleagues are doing all they can and even more to provide with all the requested information and partnership from our side. And we hope that these corporations that have started as something one of will continue as a lasting and partnership that has interest on both sides and will help open what Ukraine has to give to the world and share. And it's also a matter of security for us because culture is one of the targets in this war and for us it's crucial to be able to voice ourselves and to explain how we feel and how we go through this experience and what this situation and the history of Ukrainian and Ukrainian Russian relationship looks like from our side because for many decades and centuries the world was not able to hear Ukraine. The world has heard only the story told through the lens of Moscow and through the Russian lens as such. And for us it's crucial to give our history through our eyes, through our perspective. It's also a matter of the agency that Ukrainians are fighting for at the moment for our ability to speak for ourselves. Since the full start full scale invasion, we have been well pleasantly challenged by many collaborations and corporations with major institutions with different institutions all over the world. And we can say that there are very successful cases and experiences with exhibitions that were shown around, for example, European museums or Ukrainian participation in large events like the Venice Biennial for example or our ongoing cooperation with the European Biennial Festa which is growing and will shortly be able to announce what our cooperation will look like. We also understand that the range of topics that we want to talk about with the world and we want to suggest are the topics that are both interesting for Ukraine and the rest of the world. And at the moment in Ukraine, there are issues of course that are locally important such as cultural heritage protection or working in the time of crisis but there are also issues that are relevant for the rest of the world. As for example decolonization, which is the major issue and Ukraine has just joined this movement, or for example, issues of protection of environment and ecology. So we are working to build these conversations with the world on the jointly important topics from all sides. Of course, the situation is not clear and we don't know when the war will be over and when we can come back if we ever are able to come back to work as usual or life as usual. We really don't know what that means at the moment and you know if there is any time when we will all have you know another normal life, whatever that meant. But I have to tell you that the world future that I see in the title of this particular conference is actually a title or word that is part of many programs and projects that we've been having for the last two years. And I think it's a good sign and it gives us confidence that no matter what is happening no matter what context is given us and as we see life is very generous to give us lemons. So we have to make a lot of lemonade out of it. But we always trying to think about the future and building it this future. So we are working on a lot of plans. I have to tell you that we have plans for up until 2030. I mean like really planning projects in the next couple of years. So we are being positive and thinking about future. And in particular, I can tell you that we are working on this big project on the coloniality that will be presented next year, but we have already started the internal work and conversation. It will be a guide on the coloniality that we are developing together with the British Council and ICOM Ukraine and UK, and the Museum Association in the UK, and it will help different institutions, museums, art institutions, education institutions to work with this heritage and to decolonize our views on what we consider to be Ukrainian heritage and how to work with this heritage, how to define it, identify how to exhibit how to research it and how to actually work with it. And we hope to have more, also more deeper conversations with countries where we now have our offices and Volodymyr didn't mention it, but we have opened representative offices in Berlin and in Paris this year. So we'll be working a lot with our teams on site in these countries to develop more Ukrainian, German, Ukrainian, French collaborations in the coming years. And I'm sure United States will also be in the focus and interestingly, I think yesterday we had four or five Ukrainian events in New York only in one evening. I'm not saying that they were all Ukrainian Institute events, but Ukrainian cultural events, we were only co-organizers of one of the conversations that happened in MoMA with Ukrainian Museum Director, so Lesostrovskaya Luta and Yulia Vaganova, but of course a lot is happening in the United States as well. So, summing up the context is challenging. It's changing quite quickly, quite rapidly. We have lots of difficulties and challenges we have to face and we have to deal with, but we are optimistic, we're hardworking and we're looking for future. And I will stop there. Thank you. Tatiana, thank you so much. It gives a great framework and context for the conversation we're having.
