Diaries of War: Bohdan Shumylovych on Student Experiences of War

Bohdan Shumylovych is working on documenting the war testimonies of students at the Ukrainian Catholic University. The project is focused not only on the individual experience of war but also on its collective reflection. With the help of psychologists and meditators, the team has collected student testimonies embodied in diaries, drawings, and dreams. As a result, they have created a small archive of testimonies titled “Two Months of War.”
In this video, Bohdan Shumylovych talks about the evolution of the project, methods of collecting dreams, and flexible tools for their work.
