Kateryna Lysovenko

Kateryna Lysovenko left Ukraine with her children in the first days of the war. She was given shelter by a Polish artist residency. “The rotting underbelly of any war is dehumanization,” she wrote on Facebook after a harrowing crossing at the Ukrainian border. “Before they came, they dehumanized us. They accuse Ukraine of Nazism while burning our people and our cities.”
