This publication marks the first resultsof the Tactical Media Room Ukraine project, launched in February 2022 in Amsterdam after the shocking Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Tactical Media Room is a network of activists, journalists, scholars, and artists linked by the exchange of ideas and practices-all aimed at supporting Ukrainian media and confronting Russian state propaganda. Together, the network of experts initiated a screening and a series of meetingsthat took place mainly in Amsterdam. Based on these meetings,Dispatches from Ukraine:Tactical Media Reflections and Responses showcases initiatives, critique, and essays that provide insights into the ways informationcirculates in time of war.
This edition also aims at overcoming the Eurocentric approach through inviting Ukrainian journalists, artists, and thinkers to share their observations and personal experience of living through war in the digital age. It allows the collected reflectionsto be grounded and situated within the certain context of Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian long-lasting conflicts. While on the one hand, perspectives on info-war and the array of urgents matters at a distance are presented, on the other hand this publication also focuses on what is missing from outside of the war-zones.
