IMAGES OF WAR IN THE UKRAINE is an exhibition of photographs documenting the war in Ukraine. The photographs have been curated by Kateryna Radchenko from Ukraine and Okapi gallery located in Tallinn, Estonia.
"The photographs show crushed municipal and civil buildings, vehicles, and bridges; soldiers and ordinary citizens with all kinds of weapons and Molotov cocktails; carrying the deceased ones and rescuing domestic animals; rolling suitcases on ruined streets, fire, and smoke in snowy trenches."
The authors of the photos are the local street photography flagships Yurko Dyanchychyn, Serhiy Hudak, Mikhail Palinchak, Oleg Petrasiuk, Alina Smutko, Stas Yurchenko, Sergei Ylyashenko, Mstyslav Chernov, Sergey Korovayny, Volodymyr Petrov, Pavel Dorogoy, Viacheslav Ratynski, Oleksandr Ratushniak.
Besides the Ukrainian authors, the exhibition also features fresh shots from the front lines by their Estonian counterpart Dmitry Kotjuh.
The celebration will also commemorate the Mass Deportation of 1941 in the Baltic States.
Once the ceremony is over, everyone is invited to bring a black ribbon to Bayfront Park to hang on Latvia’s Centennial oak tree.
