"This story is about the power to live and fight in times of 'deepest despair.' About the 'freedom of the condemned.' About the audacity of faith and the ingenuity of loyalty." These words perfectly describe the book Dochia by the incredible Tamara Horikha Zernia — writer, translator, and laureate of the 2022 Taras Shevchenko National Prize of Ukraine. Known for her outstanding literary talent and dedicated volunteer work, she continues to inspire many.
Tamara Horikha Zernia will be a speaker at the XIII Civil Society Development Forum (with)STAND and will join the panel discussion onWriting About War, We Should Not Remain Silent to explore the vital role of literature in documenting war.
We will explore how writers and researchers examine the subject of war and overcoming emotional and ethical challenges. In a time when the informational front is as crucial as the military one, it is essential to understand why silence is not an option and how words can become a weapon in the fight for freedom and truth.
Join us at the Forum on December 5 to discuss this and more pressing issues with Tamara Horikha Zernia and other remarkable authors.
