On 16 November 2021, the Ukrainian Institute London, in partnership with the British Library, held an extraordinary event, discussing the work of Lesia Ukrainka. The speakers, Oksana Zabuzhko, Lucy Delap and Sasha Dovzhyk addressed what Oksana Zabuzhko called ‘a hole in European culture’ by situating the feminist and modernist writing of Lesia Ukrainka firmly in the European literary canon.
The 2021 Ukrainian Literature in Translation competition focused on works by Lesia Ukrainka to commemorate the 150th anniversary of this pioneering feminist writer. The jury, composed of Halyna Hryn, Sasha Dugdale, and Uilleam Blacker, reviewed 33 anonymised submissions. The winner of the Translation Prize is Nina Murray for her translation from Lesia Ukrainka’s drama Cassandra. Daisy Gibbons received the second prize.
