“UKRAINIAN WARTIME POSTERS”

The Ukrainian wartime posters are brought to the USA by the NGO "Contemporary Art Researchers Union" (Ukraine) and the international contemporary art residence BIRUCHIY, with the support of the Consulate General of Ukraine in New York, the National Center "Ukrainian House", Kyiv, Ukraine, «Cybertone Inc.», «SpeedPro» Long Island City

“Through their creative work, the artists show the reflections of the collective grief, despair, unbearable pain, sorrow and, at the same time, the willingness to fight and win. It is a cry for help, a declaration of our indomitable spirit and bravery, with elements of bitter irony and truth about specific events and war crimes.”

Olena Speranska, the exhibition curator, director of the international contemporary art residency, BIRUCHIY, and vice president of the Ukrainian NGO “Contemporary Art Researchers Union” (Ukraine)

Meet key Ukrainian contemporary artists and graphic designers who were forced to leave their homes due to military aggression and became temporarily displaced within the country.

Most of them still continue to work in Ukraine creating wartime posters in order to fight the propaganda of the aggressor.

The artists created posters interpreting “the truth about war crimes committed by Russia on the territory of Ukraine after the full-scale invasion that started on the 24th of February 2022”.
