Olga Sunden, curator and publisher of the groundbreaking project Through Her Eyes, joins us to discuss a powerful new photography exhibition and album created by Ukrainian women who are both soldiers and photographers—capturing the war from inside it.

The exhibition is currently on view in New York (May 13 – June 6), making this an especially timely conversation. Olga shares the stories behind these intimate, unflinching images, the courage of the women who continue to fight and document simultaneously, and the vital role of art as both advocacy and historical record.

A Ukrainian-born American communications strategist and Director of Strategic Communications and Outreach at the American Ukraine Committee, Olga founded Through Her Eyes after training in tactical medicine in Kyiv and meeting one of the photographer-soldiers. She speaks with depth and passion about:
Women documenting conflict from within war zones
Resilience, identity, and purpose during wartime
The challenge of keeping global attention on a war that continues every day
Using lived experience to build cultural projects that preserve Ukrainian stories for international audiences
