92. Charlotte Higgins: Ukrainian Lessons – Art in a Time of War

Charlotte Higgins, chief culture writer at the Guardian, never imagined she would report on a war. In the autumn of 2022, seven months into Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, she travelled there to cover a literary festival. The experience would change her life. In a war fuelled by the attempted erasure of Ukrainian culture, art has become a matter of life and death. As well as a celebration of Ukraine and its art, Higgins looks at what artists are prepared to risk – and why culture remains worth fighting for.
