👋 We are still here!
The semester is already moving very quickly toward its end, but we still have a few exciting events and activities coming up that we would like to share with you over the next weeks.
One of them is the international workshop “Frontline Images of the War in Ukraine: Circulation, Aesthetics and Politics”, taking place in Geneva on 28–29 May 2026.
🎥 How are images from the war in Ukraine produced, circulated, and interpreted? What political and ethical questions emerge from drone footage, documentary filmmaking, digital platforms, and online wartime aesthetics?
The workshop brings together researchers, filmmakers, and media scholars to discuss visual culture and contemporary warfare in the context of Russia’s war against Ukraine.
