Art and War: Unveiling Ukraine's Story of Resilience
In this episode, Igor Chekachkov, a Ukrainian photographer, shares insights from his latest work, “100 Days of War.” He captures the daily lives of Ukrainians, beginning from the full-scale invasion by Russian forces on February 24, 2022. The power of his work lies in his personal journey and the everyday horrors and stress that Ukrainians endure, including the unsettling phase of “getting used to it.”
What makes Igor's work so personal and emotional is its departure from the typical, almost “glorious” images of war seen by outsiders. Instead, it offers a raw, intimate perspective. For those living in peace, constant exposure to devastating war images from around the world can lead to desensitization and numbness. Do we still react the same way to images of bombed buildings and human suffering after a few weeks?
Join us as we explore Igor's experiences, the inception of his work, and his critique of media consumption and the desensitization to ongoing suffering. Discover how art can effectively communicate the realities of war and identity, offering a perspective on the daily lives of others.

Our Two Cents On DEI Purge - Why Diversity Matters
In the new episode of Çağ Akarken, we dive into the alarming rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs across government and corporate sectors. With Trump’s executive order dismantling DEI in public services and major companies abandoning their commitments, it's time to ask: Was DEI ever truly embedded in these institutions, or was it just a convenient narrative? We’ll discuss why diversity isn’t just a ‘nice-to-have’ but a critical factor in economic performance, business ethics, and effective policymaking. Most importantly, we’ll talk about why we must speak up. Tune in.

Justice or Injustice? A Conversation on the Death Penalty
In the seventh episode of Çağ Akarken, we sat down with Marie-Lina Perez from EPCM for an in-depth conversation on a heavy yet crucial topic: the death penalty.
Throughout this episode, we explored the global state of death penalty abolition and why, as a society, we should advocate for its eradication. We also examined the types of crimes that lead to death sentences in different countries, the systemic factors behind them, and the broader concept of punishment.
Like all issues that impact lives, capital punishment also has a gendered dimension, one we couldn’t overlook. We hope this episode sparks reflection and meaningful discussion on a topic often considered taboo.
Enjoy!
