'Ukrainian Art Historian Fights to Decolonize Ukrainian Art' Oksana Semenik, an art historian, was inspired to act during the Russian invasion, fearing the loss of Ukrainian art. She launched "Ukrainian Art History" on X, highlighting overlooked Ukrainian artists and lobbying museums to reclassify art as Ukrainian. Her efforts have led to changes in museum labels and raised awareness of Ukraine's cultural heritage. Semenik's work challenges Russia's attempt to erase Ukrainian identity and aims to debunk myths about Ukrainian artists being wrongly identified as Russian. Her efforts have been crucial in countering Moscow's narrative and have led to changes in museum labels.
