Can art resist war?

  • Café des idées

With Avignon bibliothèques

In Ukraine, where war has profoundly disrupted daily life, libraries and theatres remain places of refuge, reflection and resistance. Drawing on lived experiences, this conversation explores what it means today to lead a cultural institution in a country at war — between survival, transmission and responsibility.
