'Staring into the Dark: Visual Culture in Times of War'

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has put its people – and Europe as a whole – under direct existential threat. Vasyl Cherepanyn investigates how art, design and visual language are highly political forces of communication, propaganda, dissent, nuance and resistance.

The Wim Crouwel Lecture is co-produced between the Wim Crouwel Instituut, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and the Allard Pierson, and supported by Pictoright Fonds, Cultuurfonds and the Amsterdam University Fund.
