	Religion and Power Between Empires and Publics	Mon, 04.05.2020	Seminars and Colloquia	Katherine Younger Laura Engelstein	Religion and Power Between Empires and Publics Mon, 04.05.2020 Speakers: Katherine Younger Laura Engelstein Series: Seminars and Colloquia In the 19th century, the Greek Catholic/Uniate Church, an Eastern rite Catholic Church on the territory of modern-day Ukraine, Belarus, and Poland, served as a proving ground for evolving approaches to negotiating religion within states and between them. Straddling a political border between the Habsburg and Russian empires and a confessional boundary between Catholicism and Orthodoxy, the church became a major object of the ambitions and anxieties of empires and their subjects. The project explores two main questions: How did the role of religion change over the course of the 19th century with regards to imperial governance and international politics? And how did these changes shape the ways power was exercised in those same two arenas? The case of the Greek Catholic/Uniate Church helps us to trace confession’s evolution as a crucial element in the logic of empire, as well as how policies of coercion came to be complemented by tools of attraction given the growing range of actors with domestic and international political influence and power.

	How Could Art Reflect on Trauma?	Mon, 14.10.2019	Seminars and Colloquia	Katherine Younger Lia Dostlieva	How Could Art Reflect on Trauma? Mon, 14.10.2019 Speakers: Katherine Younger Lia Dostlieva Series: Seminars and Colloquia How do you make art about someone else’s traumatic past? What would you say to explain the victim’s experience to others, and where would you stop your story? And what would change if you yourself belong to the traumatized group whose story you are telling? Would your evidence be credible, or will it automatically be filed under the heading of “art therapy”? As a person coming from the occupied territories in Eastern Ukraine and as an artist who works extensively with traumatic experiences, Lia Dostlieva constantly face these kinds of questions. And while she might not have a definitive answer, she believes she has found a way to speak about personal trauma and remain objective, to give voice to the victims and make them heard, to find a way to show the personal scale of mass traumatic events.

	Arts after Violence: How to Read the History of Ukrainian Art?	Mon, 16.05.2022	Seminars and Colloquia	Kateryna Iakovlenko Katherine Younger	Arts after Violence: How to Read the History of Ukrainian Art? Mon, 16.05.2022 Speakers: Kateryna Iakovlenko Katherine Younger Series: Seminars and Colloquia According to Walter Benjamin, there is no document of civilization that is not at the same time a document of barbarism. Thus, art history might be reviewed as a history of violence–and the history of Ukrainian art is no different. Today, learning of the deportation of Ukrainian art to Moscow or the destruction of cultural heritage, the methods of barbarism and colonization become clearer. During her talk, Kateryna Iakovlenko provided an overview of Ukrainian art through the lens of violence, emphasizing the role of Ukrainian artists in the socio-political and cultural struggle against tyranny.
