The guests of the first episode of the second season of the UFDA Podcast are Borys Hrynyov and Maryna Koneva, founders and custodians of one of Ukraine's most renowned private art collections.

We also talk about saving the collection during the full-scale invasion, the responsibility of a collector, and art as a way to preserve memory and inner balance even in the most difficult times.
