Exhibition Concept

The war in Ukraine shakes the entire world. It abruptly reminded us of what truly matters in life. Whether people find themselves in the epicenter of events or observe from the outside, we all experience an emotional state of exception. Everyone had to find their own way to cope with the war, the suffering, the threats, as well as the feelings of powerlessness and helplessness. In a collaborative exhibition, Ukrainian and Hamburg-based female artists explore their emotional world one year after the escape.
