/The Reconstruction of Ukraine /is an upcoming symposium that focuses 
particular attention to cities, architecture, art, culture and 
psychological trauma – but the scope of the conversations it aims to 
start is broader. In due course, the discussions led and held by over 
forty international speakers during the symposium may coalesce into 
myriad projects, initiatives and experiments undertaken by government 
institutions, municipalities, educational and cultural bodies and other 
more interstitial actors. The ambition of this symposium is to establish 
a platform for dialogue, facilitating communication, collaboration and 
constructive argument between diverse actors and initiatives.

The symposium will take place over three days from September 9—September 
11, 2022 (7am–4pm EDT / 12–8pm GMT+1 / 2–10pm GMT+3). To register, 
please follow this link https://reconstruct.in.ua.

Day one of the symposium is titled “Ruination, Resistance, Shelter: 
Responses to the Direct Impact of War.” It will feature an introductory 
panel followed by discussions related to ecocide, urbicide, 
displacement, cultural heritage, and infrastructure. Day two is titled 
“Representation, Mourning, Memory: Working Through War.” This section 
will discuss trauma, grief, mourning, war and the arts of witness, 
historical narratives, and institutional practices. The third and final 
day is titled “Solidarity, Appropriation, Justice: Generating Common 
Futures.” This section will discuss masterplanning, microplanning, 
restitution, the political economy of reconstruction, reconciliation, 
retribution, and international solidarity. For a more in depth
