The field of war was one of golden grain beneath an electric blue sky-a potent symbol, but painted in broad strokes. From Yevgenia's vantage, one sees the details: what it feels like to live in Kyiv and interact with the strangers who suddenly become your \"countrymen;\" the struggle to make sense of a good mood on a spring day; the instinctive aversion to being suddenly in the category of \"civilians.\" The diary had a worldwide impact: translated by an anonymous collective of writers on Weibo; read live by Margaret Atwood; used as a slogan for anti-war protests in Berlin; and adapted for an episode of This American Life on NPR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYevgenia was asked to bring the diary to the 2022 Venice Biennale as part of the exhibition \"This is Ukraine: Defending Freedom.\"  In partnership with the Office of the President of Ukraine, the exhibition shows Yevgenia's writing alongside the monumental and emotional art of Nikita Kadan and Lesia Khomenko - all of whom continue to work in wartime Ukraine.  IN THE FACE OF WAR is the official catalog to the exhibition - contextualizing the work of these three young artists in the tradition of Ukrainian culture.  It provides a lucid answer to an age-old question: what is art to do in the face of war?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsolarii, 2022\u003cbr\u003eSoftcover, 448pp \u003cbr\u003e108 x 70mm \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tenderbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56349737124217,"sku":null,"price":14.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0488\/8029\/files\/Tenderbooks-5_593fa732-2102-4baf-b16c-bc93e09bdada.jpg?v=1765547649","url":"https:\/\/tenderbooks.pro\/products\/in-the-face-of-war-ukraine-2022","provider":"Tenderbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
