Kyiv (Ukraine)
On the anniversary of the Battle of Bakhmut, we have organized a retrospective of the tragedy of World War II and the present, united by the common theme of two genocides.
In partnership with Babyn Yar, this exhibition presents a retrospective of past and present tragedies in Bakhmut. Photographs, videos, archival documents, and eyewitness accounts reveal a horrific picture of genocide that has the same face - a totalitarian regime with a hateful ideology.
Thanks to visual comparisons of these events, visitors were able to feel and understand the tragedy of the events and the horrors of the occupation, both for the locals and for the city as a whole. Together, all the participants were able to create an exhibition that highlights the history and occupation of Bakhmut over the past 100 years.
