Course Description 
In this course, Björn Geldhof, the artistic director of PinchukArtCentre in Ukraine, will talk about what art can achieve during times of severe conflict. Geldhof will outline the challenges the institution and the art scene faced in recent years up to the war and their present acts of resistance; what role he thinks art can potentially play in this situation; and what artists outside Ukraine can do to support the art world in Ukraine. Geldhof will also expand upon the institution's most recent exhibition at Venice Biennale; "This is Ukraine: Defending Freedom," focusing on how acts of war deny people of their collective freedom.
Enrollment for this course will be closed after the video meeting ends, and it won’t be visible under the “Courses” block on Collecteurs Academy.
