Charity Art Project

On the 22nd of January, I greatly valued the opportunity to attend the opening evening of the exhibition "Les Enfants de la Guerre" (Children of the War), an initiative organized by Zhanna Bubka and Kateryna Feday, the Help Ukraine Monaco collective and Svitlana Legka from the Svitlii Charitable Foundation.
The project is raising funds for the arrangement of shelter in Primary school No. 1 of the Hostomel village council, Buchansky district, Kyiv region, Ukraine.

The event is supported by the Monegasque association AIAP UNESCO and the Municipality of Monaco. Curators Jean-Pierre Debernardi and Taisiya Savchuk-Polishuk were also involved in this artistic and social project.

The exhibition sheds light on the profound and often devastating impact of war on children, reflecting their resilience, struggles, and the unspoken emotions of those caught in conflict. The exhibition features a series of photographs by Ukrainian artists Sergii Vovk, Valentyna Petrovych and Valdemar Gorlushko. All three are keen to show human resilience in the face of horror, drawing inspiration from the work of photojournalists such as Steve McCurry and James Nachtwey. Young Ukrainians have been captured in front of destroyed buildings, bomb shelters etc.
