In a world that has long silenced Ukrainian cultural expression, this course shatters the myth of cultural invisibility. We expose the systematic attempts to erase Ukrainian art and literature, challenging the dominant narrative that Russian culture represents the pinnacle of Slavic creativity. This isn't just a class—it's a cultural rescue mission. We'll dive deep into discovering the historical mechanisms of cultural oppression, powerful Ukrainian artists who defied imperial erasure, and hidden artistic treasures across genres and periods. From poets silenced by imperial decrees to artists resisting cultural genocide, we'll uncover the vibrant world of Ukrainian creativity that refuses to be forgotten. Participants will discover Ukrainian art that speaks to their soul, challenging everything they thought they knew about Eastern European culture.

This class is a two-part series.
