Lecture by Oleksandr Khomenko in Lisbon!

On January 8, 2026, in Lisbon, Oleksandr Khomenko will give a lecture prepared specifically for an international educational tour to engage both a global audience and Ukrainian emigrants who face the challenges of multiple cultural identities. Come to SELVA COMEDY CAFÉ to learn about the phenomenon of Ukrainian culture and answer many questions about Ukrainian culture that begin with “why?”.

The lecture will be held in English.

Lecture on Ukrainian culture in Portugal!

Oleksandr Khomenko is a Ukrainian director, founder of the MUR creative collective, researcher, and promoter of Ukrainian literature. In his lecture, he questions the usual Darwinian formula and draws attention to the fact that the history of Ukraine demonstrates something else: nations survive not because they adapt, but because they resist, rethink themselves, and stubbornly remain themselves, even when the world demands the opposite. Come and hear why Ukraine survives despite decades of destruction.

Buy tickets for Oleksandr Khomenko's lecture “Ukrainian Culture vs. Charles Darwin: The Ones Who Survive Are Not the Ones Who Adapt” in Lisbon online on our website. 

The lecture will be followed by a Q&A session.
