Where: 16 Hanbury Street, E1 6QR, London, UK
More About the Exhibition
The exhibition, supported by Photofusion and regularly updated with new images from photographers on the ground in Ukraine, is curated by Kateryna Radchenko from her home country. The work, digitally displayed in creative agency Wieden+Kennedy London’s public-facing Hanbury Street gallery, will be on view to the public until May 31.
“It’s important to show what is happening in Ukraine now,” says Kateryna. “Yes, there are many international journalists in Ukraine, covering the events daily. However, there is a big difference between pictures taken by journalists, temporarily visiting, and photographers shooting in their home cities and towns. The latter know the context and have no opportunity to go back home to a safe place after completing their assignment.”
Susan Hoffman, Executive Creative Director at Wieden+Kennedy London, said: “When I first saw the work of the Ukrainian artists, presented by Photofusion, I was overwhelmed by the power of the imagery and the strength of creativity through something as catastrophic as war. I instantly wanted Wieden+Kennedy to help shine a spotlight on the Ukrainian community, who are boldly continuing to tell their stories through art.
