Photo exhibition: Life Goes On - chronicles of Russo-Ukrainian war
Finnish-Ukrainian art project “Life goes on – chronicles of Russo-Ukrainian war” discusses the impact of Russia's invasion through the lens of young Ukrainian photographers. The narrative moves in the past and the present, describing young people's feelings about war and peace, leaving home and friends behind. The exhibition also looks to the future, asking how not only the buildings but also the young people's world view and faith could be rebuilt.
The photo exhibition will be displayed in the main building of the Finnish Meteorological Institute on 21-22 September, 2023. More info
