Presented as part of the new INSTITUT speakeasy at St. Volodymyr Institute.

Thursday, May 7, doors 5 PM
620 Spadina Ave.
Around the back, through the lot, past the steel doors, down the stairs, through the wood laminate door.

2. IN CONVERSATION: MYROSLAV SHKANDRIJ
Author of In the Maelstrom: The Waffen-SS “Galicia” Division and Its Legacy

Join us for a free, non-ticketed pre-show conversation with Myroslav Shkandrij exploring the wartime experience and postwar legacy of the Fourteenth Waffen-SS “Galicia” Division.

3. NARRATIVE BATTLEFIELDS: IN CONVERSATION WITH MARCI SHORE AND ANDREW KUSHNIR
The war in Ukraine has also been a war of narratives. As the conflict reverberates globally, questions of meaning persist: Who tells the story? How is history made and remade? And what role can the arts play in wartime?

Watch the recording of this Massey Arts Society panel discussion, moderated by PEN Canada President Ira Wells.
