Vikten av kultur
The XIII International Book Arsenal Festival began in
Kyiv on May 29.
"I visited the Book Arsenal with my family - a
space that gains special importance in times of full-scale war: alive, filled
with meanings, able to unite. Culture helps to preserve identity, strengthens
internal resilience and opens the way to dialogue," Stefanchuk said.
He noted that this is not just a book festival, but a
large-scale intellectual event where literature, visual art, music, and theater
intersect.
“Here, people comprehend the experience of the
present, form values, and are not afraid to talk about the difficult - honestly
and deeply,” Stefanchuk said.
"The Book Arsenal has long been a tradition for
my family, as well as for everyone who creates and supports the Ukrainian word.
It always means meetings with publishers, authors, and artists who inspire,
support, and help maintain our common resilience," Stefanchuk emphasized.
