In June 2024, curators from Prague’s OBJECT:PARADISE and the Prague Microfestival visited Ukraine to document the role of culture in war and the effect of war on culture in Lviv.
The film documents day-to-day challenges and new insights into the role of culture for individuals, communities, and a city that is constantly reminded that their nation’s political independence is under threat from Russia.
