Field Report
Special Film-Lecture Screening
Resistance and resilience of Ukrainian artists facing war
November 7 @ 19:00 – 21:00
Michel Poulin, a researcher, documentary filmmaker and doctoral student in art studies and practices at UQAM, from Verdun, travelled to Ukraine in the summer of 2024 and July 2025 to meet local artists and document their mobilization in the face of the war.
In Lviv and Kyiv, this project made it possible to carry out around twenty interviews with various inspiring artists: writers, poets, musicians, painters, photographers, journalists… These meetings highlighted how art becomes an act of cultural resistance, even if some artists express their disillusionment with the effectiveness of art in times of war.
Michel Poulin will present the journey and the documentary filmmaker's approach.
