Contemporary Ukrainian photography has come to the Turnpike Gallery in Leigh. Local MP visited the exhibition, where Ukrainian artists show how they see and think about ‘home’.
Exhibition curators Max Gorbatskyi and Viktoria Bavykina showcase a number of perspectives, with works that explore identity, landscape, experimental art, folk and popular culture.
Presented by Open Eye Gallery, the exhibition has toured in Liverpool, Salford, Leeds, Rochdale and Edinburgh, with a final display at UK Parliament planned for March 2025.
Underlying the selection of work is the question ‘what does home mean when your country is threatened by invasion?’
The exhibition was originally commissioned to coincide with Eurovision as part of EuroFestival in Liverpool, the exhibition also includes three poems from UK writers.
The exhibition is on at the Turnpike Gallery until Saturday 25 January, 2025.
