The Shape of Recovery

23.01.2026 18:30−21:00 Uhr
Shape of recovery

The book "The Shape of Recovery" brings together reflections, practices, and analytical perspectives emerging from Ukraine’s ongoing processes of struggle, adaptation, and renewal. Rather than seeing reconstruction as simply restoring what was lost, it explores recovery as a transformative process intertwining civic engagement, governance, architecture, ecology, and cultural memory. It highlights how material rebuilding, institutional repair, ecological care, and collective imagination shape conditions for resilience and a shared future.

A launch event will take place on 23 January at Café Tiergarten in Berlin.

Programme:

   18:30 open doors
   19:00—20:30 book presentation, roundtable
   20:30—21:00 informal networking
