While reading this article, I was able to make a connection to the discussion we had about the 2023 Prague Quadrennial in Basic Design I this week. We looked at the Ukraine exhibit from this year, and I observed how so much of their art was in response to the war. There was visual design that showcased the malnourishment that currently exists in Ukraine and also poetry about grief from the war. Going back to this article, I am curious about whether or not the Ukraine Fringe acts will focus on art in the time of war as Ukraine’s Prague exhibit did. As a Ukrainian American, I am specifically aware of the rich art that Ukraine produces, and am left wondering if the directors will use this platform to motivate Ukrainians with lively pre-war art or advocate for assistance in Ukraine with art about the war. Either way, preserving Ukrainian culture is an imperative effort during this time of war, and I am excited to see what comes out of this festival. - Delaney Price
