About this event

George Butler reportage artist

While reporting on the war in Ukraine in 2022 and 2023, the artist George Butler created striking illustrations and reporting to introduce us to the people behind the headlines. His drawings, made in situ, of people and places in Ukraine, in underground shelters in the Kharkiv metro, hospitals and bombed out streets and homes, vividly capture stories of family, tragedy and perseverance.
“George Butler is in the front rank of chroniclers of our troubled times. His work shows the power of paper and ink in the digital age.” Jeremy Bowen, BBC correspondent

George Butler will be signing his new book Ukraine: Remember Also Me after the talk
