  • The exhibition, in different mediums, was created at the U.A. W.A.R. residency in February 2023 at Quinta das Relvas in Portugal to protest the russian invasion. Through an open call, the five artists were selected from over 100 highly qualified candidates.
     

    The group brings attention to the ongoing war and the atrocities committed by russia and calls for action and change. By exploring themes of memory, trauma, and national identity, drawing on Ukraine's complex history of colonialism, war, and political upheaval, they remind us that the fight for the universal values of human rights, democracy, and the rule of law must never be abandoned.

    The russian aggression towards Ukraine is not limited to military action; it extends to all levels of Ukrainian society, seeking to undermine the national identity and values of Ukrainians.

    By suppressing Ukrainian culture, russia aims to assert its dominance and influence over Ukraine.

    In such a context, these artists use their art also to express the human condition of hope, the need for protection, memories from childhood, and the belief in divinity, creating a value that cannot be overstated.

    With this, we stand with Ukraine and its rich cultural heritage and deep artistic traditions.

  • Halyna Andrusenko

  • Halyna Andrusenko

    Born 1992. Lives and works in Kyiv.

    Halyna works with painting, graphics, video, and performance art.

    As full-scale war escalates in Ukraine, she explores the re­ ection of war on the form of things and the world around her.

    In her “Protected” series, she documents the protection of cultural monuments of Ukraine and represents them in new artistic images. The material in which the sculptures are wrapped seems to regenerate them, making them look like new art objects.

    There is a transformation into new forms in which the image of war appears.

  • Solomiia Ortynska

  • Solomiia Ortynska

    Born 1997. Lives and works in Lviv.

    Solomiia works with oil and acrylic paints, adding lines with colored pencils, a combination that showcases her love of lines and strokes. Addressing psychological strife in her work, she strives to find a "place of strength" - where one can gather energy and keep moving. For many this place is their home. As home, as she knows it has been stolen, she has shifted her focus to childhood memories that serve as a shelter for the inner child.

    She sees memories of childhood as a means to reduce stress and enhance emotional healing.

  • Anastasiia Podervianska

  • Anastasiia Podervianska

    Born 1978. Lives and works in Kyiv.

    Anastasiia seeks to challenge the stereotype of textiles as a decorative and applied medium for women's handicraft by using it as a medium for contemporary art. Her textile panels are sewn together from patches of embroidered towels and lacework handkerchiefs, crafting sophisticated and multilayered visuals by combining various techniques. She uses symbolism as a powerful reminder of the ongoing war and its impact on Ukrainian society.

  • Polina Shcherbyna

  • Polina Shcherbyna

    Born 1993. Lives and works in Kyiv.

    Polina expands the concept and perception of painting, which she positions as an object. She works with an awareness of corporeality through anti-anatomy. Examining corporeality in nature, she reveals it through the shape of a tree while looking at the human figure in the circle of anthropological questions revolving around "dark ecology." War awakens her sense of loss, the value of life, and the fear of death. Each loss is the loss of the whole world. She sees us all in this body together. By remembering this, we give the future a chance.

  • Olga Stein

  • Olga Stein

    Born 1997. Lives and works in Kyiv.

    Olga's art is greatly influenced by her education in the field of restoration and working with art monuments. As part of her residency in Portugal, Olga created the series "Body in the Temple," in which the artist questions the system of the anthropocentric world and nuclear deterrence. The artist believes that all the international initiatives created to prevent war have shown their inability to do so. That is why she decided to focus on finding an alternative structure with hope. Inspired by the special constructions of Catholic churches, which make us think about the size of man in relation to God, Olga has created works in which she immerses her imperfect characters under the church dome. While god-fearing is a not-often-mentioned Christian virtue, it is precisely to this that the artist turns. She shows the viewer the search for the right place for the ratio of the size of the body to the size of God's will. Olga calls the viewer to internal responsibility and believes this is the only effective form of restraint.
