The French translation of my story for The Art Newspaper about the EU officially cancelling €2m funding to the Venice Biennale over Russian participation:

[The Art Newspaper France @TANdailyFrance]

« Les événements culturels financés par l’argent des contribuables européens doivent préserver les valeurs démocratiques », a déclaré Thomas Régnier, porte-parole de la Commission européenne.

I once received an electric shock during torture only for writing for Radio Liberty: I was told that it was "a CIA structure and an enemy of Russia", and for that reason alone I was already guilty.

Now, the "enemy of Russia" is being destroyed by America itself, and my torture seems doubly in vain.

I stand corrected. This is the loudest Canadian anthem I have ever heard live.

Wow.

Russia targets Ukrainian culture workers for enforced disappearance. Museum researcher Olena Pekh, who was was raped and subject to mock execution, was released in June after mediation by Volodymyr Zelensky and Pope Francis. My story for The Art Newspaper:

[The Art Newspaper @TheArtNewspaper]

The release of Ukrainian museum researcher Olena Pekh from Russian captivity underscores the ongoing plight of other Ukrainian cultural workers imprisoned by Russia

If you are in New York city or planning to go, I recommend very interesting exhibition in the Ukrainian museum (my favourite museum in NYC, actually) about photographer Peter Hujar. First ever exhibition that speaks about his 🇺🇦 roots. https://t.co/OdC2sRf7ee

Today marks 400 days since Evan was jailed for doing his job, another grim milestone that we hoped would never come. Evan has missed out on so much, isolated from the world that he loves and covered so well. There is a big hole in our hearts that won’t be filled until he is free

Russian bullsh*t repeats itself. 1939 issue of RT (Russia Today Society) a propaganda pamphlet from the 30s & 40s produced to counter Western Media. Bullsh*t justifying the Red Army invasion of Finland thats remarkably similar to todays anti Ukraine conspiracies.

People throwing flowers at the hearse carrying Navalny’s body. After so many waves of repression it’s amazing that so many of his supporters have turned out.

@614BridgetMPro Thank you very much, Bridget! There are a number of artists who have sought refuge in Armenia, Montenegro and Serbia. Others have repatriated to Israel. Some have made it to Dubai, France, and Mexico. Many stories and communities have developed since I wrote the piece.

@tatavinni The way things are going, posting pictures of pandas will be a criminal offense.

⚡️ BREAKING: #Iran football team captain defies regime, backs protests: “We have to accept that conditions in our country are not right & our people are not happy. They should know that we are with them. And we support them. And we sympathize with them regarding the conditions.”

@NanaGongadze @NanaGongadze Hopefully the Armed Forces of Ukraine will liberate all of those cities very soon, but in the meantime this was a warning about museums at risk.

[Sophia Kishkovsky @SKishkovsky]

Russia has officially annexed four Ukrainian territories. My story for The Art Newspaper about the museum collections that Russia has now officially stolen:

[The Art Newspaper @TheArtNewspaper]

Russia will now own thousands of Ukrainian artefacts as the occupying nation takes control of museums following a formal annexation declaration

[Sophia Kishkovsky @SKishkovsky]

@NanaGongadze Annexation and appropriation and fake referendums as they are identified in the story are all illegal and the actions against museums in Mariupol, Melitopol and Kherson show how Russia carries it out in occupied territories.
