This exhibition catalog presents a collaborative work of Yohanan Petrovsky-Shtern, scholar and artist, and the key Ukrainian and Jewish writers, art scholars, politicians, educators, journalists, and poets, who unravel the visual mysteries of his artwork on display at the Ukrainian Institute of America in the fall of 2025. Together they address in real time the catastrophic events of nowadays, including ideological brainwashing, imperial aggression, political hypocrisy, cultural genocide, and the immensity of human suffering. The artworks and essays ponder the question of resilience and survival of a nation-in-the making in the situation of a global crisis of humanity.
