Europe and Central Asia are linked by decades of commodity trade, but also by developing climate cooperation. Yet Central Asia plays a limited role in the European public debate on global climate change and energy transition.

In the November edition of Eastsplainers, we explore cinematic representations of Central and Eastern Europe.

For this session, we welcome Kasia Lech, Igone de Jongh, and Anna Seidl as our guests, who will address the challenges encountered by art performers during their migration experiences.

In the October edition of Eastsplainers, we devote our attention to indigenous communities from Central and Eastern Europe, and from the Russian Federation in particular.

The June edition of Eastsplainers is dedicated to media, cultural memory and conspiracy theories.

In this lecture, Russian writer Maxim Osipov shares his sober take on the Russian war in Ukraine, migration, and on the question: what does it mean to be a Russian writer in times of full-blown Russian imperialism?

The February edition of Eastsplainers is devoted to music and sound. UvA welcomes three internationally renowned musicians with a special interest in new or, as they themselves call it, ‘unheard’ music.

In this panel discussion, UvA welcomes journalists Alexander Gubsky (Moscow Times) and Julia Taratuta (TVRain).

For this opening of the public lecture series Eastsplainers, the UvA welcomes Ukrainian linguist Oksana Kononchuk.
