Emergency Archiving in Ukraine (with Natalia Otrishchenko, Taras Nazaruk, and Oleksandr Makhanets)
On February 24, Russia invaded Ukraine. The horrible attack abruptly changed the lives of millions of people. Many were displaced by the brutal war. Others decided to stay and provide humanitarian aid or to defend their country. Colleagues from the Center for Urban History in Lviv also chose not to leave. They are now documenting the war. Usually historians analyze the past, in Ukraine they are now preserving the present. In this podcast episode Natalia Otrishchenko, Taras Nazaruk, and Oleksandr Makhanets talk about their project »Testimonies from the War«, the concept of »emergency archiving« and how they explore new ways of oral history and visual history.
