11. Charlotte Higgins | Bridport Literary Festival | Sunday 08 November 11.30am

Guardian chief culture writer Charlotte Higgins never imagined reporting on a war. In autumn 2022, she travelled to a book festival in Ukraine to discover how artists were reflecting the conflict in their work. It would change her life.

During a war that threatens the very existence of Ukrainian culture, art has become literally a matter of life and death. Based on three years of reporting, Ukrainian Lessons is an urgent and unforgettable book about what artists are prepared to risk – and why culture is worth fighting for. In conversation with the writer Philip Ardagh.

“The most beautifully written, moving book I can ever remember readingˮ, Philippa Perry.
