Tbilisi (Georgia), Bern (Switzerland)

On May 5, Factory Gallery, Tbilisi, hosted the opening of the exhibition "Ukrainian Guernica", which aims to draw attention to the war in Ukraine and present documentary evidence of Russia's illegal aggression and war crimes to the world. The project is supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and under the patronage of the First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska. 

The exhibition consists of more than 40 photographs taken by international and Ukrainian photographers during the two months of the war, as well as documented audio and video files. The exhibition features works by Pavel Petrov, Yevhen Maloletka, Mstislav Chernov, Alex Kent, Christopher Occhicone, Ron Gaviv, and others.

On the anniversary of the Russian invasion, an event for Swiss politicians and the international diplomatic corps was held in the Swiss city of Bern to explain what Ukraine is fighting for and how important it is to get support from other countries to preserve Ukrainian statehood and culture.

The Ukrainian Guernica photo-documentary exhibition is yet another proof of the need to unite the entire democratic world to confront the evil empire.

The project was realized in cooperation with the Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers, curators Serhiy Kerbytskyi and Yevhen Bereznytskyi, and with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
