Iryna iSky: How Art Preserves History

Listen on

The guest of the episode is Iryna iSky—photographer, servicewoman, and costume designer, who combines frontline experience with visual stories about women, war, and memory. In this conversation, she discusses her journey in art, shooting in extreme conditions, fear, and how war changes the perspective through the lens. She also touches on women on the front lines and the responsibility for what and whom we portray.

We discuss her project "KUB" (The Cube) as a mobile memorial and an attempt to transform collective pain into strength, the emotions tied to the memory of fallen warriors, working with cultural heritage, and her experience creating costumes for the film "The Witch of Konotop." This episode is about presence and loss; about creativity as a way to endure the war, to capture those who might be lost forever, and—at the same time—to allow oneself to dream of the future.
