Overview
Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Mark Neville co-founded the charitable organisation Postcode Ukraine, combining the delivery of humanitarian aid to frontline cities with his own documentary practice.
Mark Neville will discuss his ongoing work and share an account of his experiences in a country under siege. The conversation will highlight how the role of the artist in a war zone can be expanded to encompass practical support and aid, not just one of bearing witness.
The event will be introduced by RUSI Director General Rachel Ellehuus and moderated by Caro Howell MBE, Director-General, Imperial War Museums.
