Ep. 006: A Threatened Heritage, Slavic Art in Eastern Europe
In this episode of the American Attic, host Eric Sweigert sits down with UC Davis professor Victoria Juharyan to discuss the collison of art, politics and dissent seen in Eastern European history. Such a launchpad takes listeners through stories seldom heard and explores the role art plays in society as well as what is risked by artists who dare to take on the powers that be. As a guide through this landscape, Professor Juharyan pulls from her extensive study of Slavic art and graduate work at both Dartmouth and Princeton before her current role of visiting professor of Russian at UC Davis.
**CORRECTION: When discussing artists working under USSR censorship, the guest shared a corrected reference to the idiom, "writing for the drawer" which can be found at this link
Artists referenced: Leo Tolstoy, Nikolai Gogol, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Mikhail Bakhtin, Alla Gorskaya, Vasyl Stus
