A while back Shawna from Artificial Dissemination got in touch with me about a Ukrainian benefit they were playing called When words fail music speaks. She put me in touch with Krista Pettipas who is organizing the event and I put together this feature to help dig into the significance of it. We’re going to start off with a conversation between Krista and I.
