But in the autumn of 2022, seven months into Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, she travelled there to find out how artists and writers were reflecting the invasion in their work. The experience would change her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a war fuelled by the attempted erasure of Ukrainian culture – a war that has killed countless artists and created countless more – art has become a matter of life and death. In times of war, art and literature are where difficulty and complexity survive: where the most painful, unspeakable truths can still be faced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on two decades of cultural journalism, three years of reporting trips to Ukraine and her training as a classicist, Ukrainian Lessons explores the profound connections between war, art and life.
