Online Discussion “Theater, politics and war”
Scholars at Vytautas Magnus University are continuing to investigate forms of cultural diplomacy. Culture, as a powerful means of communication across borders and a soft power instrument for states, draws our attention in moments of conflict and war.
We will examine, how culture enters the fields of politics and security, in our next on-line roundtable discussion “Theater, politics and war” which will be held on November 12 at 18:00 – 19:30 EET.
The participants will be:
- Jurgita Staniškytė, Dean of the Faculty of Arts at Vytautas Magnus University, Lithuania
