Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine this February, a global community of volunteers has endeavored to help preserve Ukraine’s online cultural heritage. While this community comprises over 1300 volunteers, many of them work as librarians or in cultural preservation, including two of the leaders of this group, Quinn Dombrowski and Anna Kijas. Dombrowski and Kijas, along with Sebastian Majstorovic, have been instrumental in coordinating this community of experts across time zones together and also spearheading what the Washington Post described as “a lifeline for cultural officials in Ukraine.” To capture both their experiences, as well as how librarianship has informed SUCHO, we convened a roundtable with the organizers, as well as two of the most active volunteers Dena Strong and Erica Peaslee, who also work in GLAM.

Every man has inside himself a parasitic being whois acting not at all to his advantage. -William S. Burroughs, Literary Outlaw, 1988 Decoder is an evolving series of multimedia concerts, videos, and sound recordings exploring the visionary language of William S. Burroughs on the merging of body, media, and machine. In the early 1960s and 1970s, Burroughs composed an elaborate set of instructions, encoded in sci-fi novels, essays, films, and tape recordings, explaining how to use technology to escape control-societal, political, and personal. What emerged was a prophecy, in a biological language, about the technological takeover of the human nervous system. Devised and performed in the age of Trump, Decoder employs Burroughs's cut-up methods to test whether it is possible to reverse engineer the technological and ideological systems he warned would come to dominate contemporary life.
