Ukraine Contrast” The war in Ukraine continues. We hear less and less about this in the media, and it seems to be becoming commonplace. The war has been raging in Ukraine for years, a beautiful country that is dealing with Russian aggression. Landscapes are destroyed, houses, schools, hospitals and cultural objects are destroyed. According to Putin, we have no language, no culture and no right to exist, and he has no intention of stopping this war. This means that more and more Ukrainians are forced to flee. More and more people are injured or killed. Many will never return because everything they had is gone. This also applies to many children who miss their home and country. Despite all the misery, Ukrainians continue to fight for and defend their country. They will never give up and try to protect everything that is left, especially for the younger generations. Cultural heritage is an important part of this. We, the Strong Through Art Foundation, together with Ukrainian photographers documenting the war, cordially invite you to see and discover Ukraine before and during the war. Unfortunately, we cannot reach all photographers, partly due to the war. That is why we are organizing a larger exhibition later this year. We call this preview exhibition “Ukraine Contrast”. The proceeds from the sold photos go to the Strong Through Art Foundation, which supports, among others, the Ukrainian NGO Tabletochki. This children's fund has been helping Ukrainian children with cancer for more than 13 years. Help us help these children. Together with the photos, we exhibit drawings by Ukrainian refugee children. These were made during the Christmas Art workshop in the Hofplein Youth Theater, under the guidance of Dutch and Ukrainian artists. The children's drawings were photographed by Theo Huijgens and then printed on flags. These can be admired during the flag parade.

GRADIENT: A PROJECT BY ZHANNA KADYROVA AND KACHOROVSKA Kachorovska's Spring-Summer Season is Dedicated to Care and Humanity. Care and humanity have been central to us for a long time, especially since the full-scale invasion highlighted those in society who care deeply for others.One day, we all began thinking more about our loved ones and friends, and even helping strangers both within our country and beyond. At the same time, each of us is experiencing our unique journey through the war. For soldiers, it’s one experience, for volunteers another, and for civilians, it’s different from both soldiers and volunteers.To demonstrate our unity and strength despite these varied experiences, the Kachorovska team collaborated with Ukrainian artist Zhanna Kadyrova, who created the artwork "Gradient." The artwork consists of household enamelware filled with glossy ceramic tiles in shades from black to white. This technique creates the illusion of the dishes being filled, making the tile surface difficult to distinguish from liquid. All objects are placed between mirrors, creating an effect of infinite gradient. https://lnkd.in/eAn4M_nF

In my Artistic quest, I dive into the depths of my emotions and stirring profound sensations. Yet, the essence of art transcends the individual, resonating with the collective consciousness of humanity. When a perceptive collector acknowledges our creations, it validates our artistic vision. This relentless pursuit demands not only creativity but also pragmatism. Hence, we embrace avenues such as exhibiting, or auctioning our work, not as concessions to commerce but as vital means to sustain the vibrant pulse of our artistic endeavors.

I truly believe that art, especially public art, plays a crucial role in engaging communities and encouraging positive action. During my recent visit to Paris, I checked several exhibitions that reaffirmed this belief. 🌳 From the gigantic participative installation 𝒮𝓎𝓂𝒻𝑜𝓁𝒾𝒶 by Rachel Marks who invited thousands of youth to celebrate the diversity of the world 🎸 To 𝑀é𝓉𝒶𝓁 exhibition powerful display of how music reflect societal issues and always took part in protest movements 💫 To the inclusive sculpture 𝒩𝑒𝓈𝓉 𝐼𝐼𝐼 evoking both diversity and unity of humanity by #JaumePlensa at Espace Monte-Cristo 💬 To Centre Pompidou exploring how comics are a medium to critisize society with humour or a "what if" imaginarium 🎡 To 59 RIVOLI where accessibility to art is at the heart of the concept and you can meet artists in their studio 👩🎨 Where the artist Sandra Cheres making affordable art with positive messages made of upcycled materials 🎈 To 𝒲𝐸 𝒜𝑅𝐸 𝐻𝐸𝑅𝐸 exhibition where street artists took over the Petit Palais - attracting a diverse audience among the historical artworks. These exhibitions comforted my belief that art has always been a tool for all to express their voices. Public art should be more prevalent in our spaces, serving as a 𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. As #ShepardFairey claims on Paris' Walls: "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧". Art has the power to awaken a sense of community and responsibility, driving us towards a more engaged and aware society. 🎇 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐡𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮? #ArtForChange #PublicArt #PowerofArt #ArtConnection
