She is a cultural studies researcher and a former journalist. She has been as a freelance illustrator with a focus on editorial illustration since 2018. Her most common topics are equality, feminism, history, trauma, mental health, and other challenging social issues, but she also occasionally enjoys drawing plants and food. Zhenya was working on a commission about the Russian censorship in Ukrainian theatre in the 19th century when the Russian full-scale invasion started. She fled to Lviv but returned to Kyiv shortly after. Ever since then she has been creating graphic stories about her experience of living in a country under attack.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Published 8 March 2023<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zhenya Oliinyk&#8217;s comics deal with the artist&#8217;s struggle to reconcile the various impulses and obligations of Ukraine&#8217;s wartime reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1625,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"class_list":["post-1620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artwork"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.6.1 -
