Exhibition Closing Event – 'Places We Love: Art and the Ukrainian East'
Print Sale and Closing Event from 3-5pm on July 24th. The Print Sale will begin at 3pm, followed by a discussion of the book Limits of Collaboration and a final exhibition walk-through from 4pm. All welcome!
Places We Love: Art and the Ukrainian East features the work of four contemporary Ukrainian artists: Viktor ‘Corwic' Zasypkin, Masha Pronina, Oleksandr Kuchynskyi and Darya Tsymbalyuk. Ranging from photography to montage to painting, these works provide insights into industrial heritage, pre-war cityscapes, the violence of military incursions, and the multiple lives and loves of the Donbas region. Donbas (Donetsk Coal Basin) is an industrial region in the east of Ukraine, which since 2014 has been partially occupied by Russia, and where war has been ongoing for eight years.
Places featured in this exhibition are dear to the artists. Many of them are now being destroyed by the Russian military.
Artworks will be on display in The Garden Bothy and The Pergola.
The exhibition is accompanied by a weekend print sale, with all proceeds going to Ukrainian artists.
