(Sub) Conscious ArtGuest - writer, essayist, and curator Gianluigi Ricuperati In the new episode of Olesia Herashchenko’s program “(Sub)Conscious Art,” a candid conversation with Gianluigi Ricuperati turns to cultural resistance, the power of the word, and Ukraine’s place in the European context. Ricuperati shares his experience teaching in Ukraine, his impressions of Ukrainian artists, architecture, and the literary scene. He speaks about the importance of “soft power,” the rethinking of imperial legacies, and culture’s responsibility in times of war. This interview is not only about art, but about the future: hope as a practice, Ukraine’s emerging role on the world map, and the necessity of dialogue between cultures. A must-watch for anyone interested in contemporary European thought, critical art, and the ways culture becomes an instrument of resistance. Audio archive of conversations about art during wartime. Here we explore the possibilities and limitations of the culture of dialogue through the lens offered by dialogue with culture itself.
