Porohy #12 (2024)

This issue of Porohy addresses culture and politics as spaces of responsibility, where decisions and meanings have long-lasting effects. Here, war emerges as an experience that shapes ways of thinking and the production of meaning.

The launch of the Dovzhenko Center’s online cinema opens new opportunities for access to Ukraine’s cinematic heritage and contemporary films, bringing them into the global digital space. The conversation with the Kinowarta team shows how Ukrainian cinema finds its audience in Prague — through dialogue, curatorial work, and enduring cultural connections during wartime.

The analytical piece on the future of American politics examines deeper transformations — how the United States is gradually moving toward technocracy and what this means for democratic processes and the global balance of power.

The issue concludes with a public discussion in the form of six questions from Volodymyr Viatrovych to Andriy Sebiha — an example of how responsible political dialogue retains significance even in times of radical change. Porohy remains a space where culture, war, and analysis come together into a unified space for understanding the present.
