The online publication and affiliated think tank seeks to counter misinformation, disinformation, negative stereotypes and propaganda that obfuscate, relativize and undermine the efforts of Ukrainians to defend themselves against the Russian colonial invasion. The initiative is embedded in the context of contemporary art, using the artistic medium to enhance strategies of public communication. The curatorial strategy merges a variety of media with academic analysis and journalistic integrity to reach diverse audiences.\u00a0SONIAKH digest<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0reincarnates and mutates the archaic journalistic tradition of the \u201cdigest\u201d as an outlet where information, propaganda, analysis and artistic production are collated, summarized, illustrated and amplified for a general audience.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Among the platform’s first text publications are Oleksiy Radynski’s excellent “Russian Fossil Fascism is Europe’s Fault<\/a>” and Yevheniia Butsykina’s “Motherhood in War, Bodily Experience<\/a>.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
