ARTISTIC PRACTICES DURING THE WAR: THE UKRAINIAN DIMENSION

Abstract

The article indicates the artistic practices that arise in the modern Ukrainian cultural space. The specificity of war as a phenomenon that occurs not only in the physical, but also in the information-virtual space is determined. There is a re-actualization of works of art created in pre-war times, which are now gaining a new life. New visual and auditory artifacts appear, the themes of which illuminate topics relevant to modern culture. The bases for them are fragments of military operations, victories and heroic deeds, suffering and dreams of the Ukrainian people. Artistic practices in wartime have a powerful influence on recipients, allowing them to unite in a common struggle. Their ideological potential, realized through an artistic and emotional form, is one of the ways of resistance, a means of expressing those feelings that are common to all citizens of Ukraine and the European community. Artistic practices are not only a sublimation for many Ukrainians, but also an effective means of communication that allows to convey your own suffering and pain, faith and expectations to representatives of other countries. Even offline events are necessarily covered via the Internet, making them the property of the global cultural space.
