The exhibition “YKRAÏНА” in Association NOEMI - Espace Brownstone
The Association NOEMI - Espace Brownstone presented “YKPAÏHA [Ukraïna]”, a collective exhibition centered on the Ukrainian experience, resilience, and cultural identity in the face of war and displacement.
Curated as a reflection on the ongoing conflict and its human, emotional, and historical consequences, the exhibition brings together the works of contemporary Ukrainian artists whose practices resonate with themes of loss, memory, resistance, and reconstruction. Through a wide variety of mediums—painting, photography, installation, video, and performance—the artists explore both personal and collective dimensions of trauma and survival.
“YKPAÏHA” sheds light on the country’s rich and complex cultural heritage while addressing the current geopolitical reality and the profound emotional landscape of its people. It examines how art can act as testimony, protest, and healing during times of upheaval.
