#Ukrainian culture

The war turned Vladyslav Krasnoshchok, a Kharkiv surgeon and underground artist, into one of Ukraine’s most provocative war photographers. His language is raw, and his images even more so—together they capture a truth that goes beyond what the eye sees.

If you can’t travel to Ukraine but have always been curious about its culture, France just launched its “Ukrainian Season.” For the next four months, Paris and other cities will bring Ukraine’s cultural heritage to life—a vibrant, living testament to the cultural power of Ukraine. Led by the French Institute, this four-month event challenges outdated Soviet-era narratives and reclaims Ukraine’s often misunderstood identity.
