Byre World: Mariupol Memory Park with Victoria Donovan - Free but please book

In the spring of 2022, the troops of the Russian Federation destroyed Mariupol. Tens of thousands of people died. The brutal siege and occupation destroyed not only lives and architecture, but also displaced a vibrant community of cultural activists.

A year later a group of artists, activists and researchers from and connected with the city came together to commemorate Mariupol's values of openness, cultural reflection and struggles for equality.

Filmmakers, audio artists, and writers who contributed to the Mariupol Memory Park project will join us to discuss Mariupol's past, present and future at this one-off multimedia event.

This event is free, but ticketed, so please book your space on the Byre Theatre website to attend.

Other events will be taking part in the afternoon, including a walkshop with Alisa Oleva at the Wardlaw Museum and a screening of Mariupol documentary shorts from 2018 to 2023 in School III. Find out more…
