US Maps, Literatura and Holodomor Map

US Tour planning maps. I have four in total: Philadelphia, Boston (actually Cambridge), New York and an East Coast map, with a full schedule of my US trip. I have 33 hours in New York and a HURI archival visit as part of a research trip to Harvard from 5–7 June. My trip is to Philadelphia to attend MODE Motion Design Education Summit 2023 for my paper Memories and Motion Graphics: Recipes for Baking Bread.

It was my first Literatura class on Thursday. An online course organised by Ukrainian Institute London. Class one was Through Laughter and Through Tears: The Cultural Emergence of Modern Ukraine by Rory Finnin from University of Cambridge. A fantastic seminar exploring rhythm, poetic metre and poetry in translation. This is my first experience of any understanding of bilingual poetry. This was a study of two texts by Ivan Kotliarevs’kyi and Taras Shevchenko.

I have completed work on a definitive Holodomor map. This shows regions of Ukraine and borders in 1932 and present with numbers of deaths according to area. All data is from HURI Harvard University Ukrainian Research Institute MAPA: Digital Atlas of Ukraine project. Maps are from google maps. I include Kharkiv, capital of Ukraine in 1932 and Kyiv current capital. This is a slide for my conference presentation for MODE Summit 2023 at Moore College of Art and Design.
