Exhibition

Meanwhile in Mariupol

alarm 4 mars 2023 - 31 augusti 2023

Six women from Mariupol share their experiences of the war, accompanied by photographs by Ukrainian journalist Viacheslav Tverdokhlib.

Since Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula in 2014, Mariupol has played an important strategic role in the Russian-Ukrainian war. This exhibition features photographs by Mariupol-born Viacheslav Tverdokhlib. During the blockade, he lived in a cellar while at the same time recording the city decay. The exhibition also includes the stories of six women from Mariupol, who share their experiences of the war. Each of them has chosen a photo from Tverdokhlib’s collection, and from that narrated their own experiences with texts and photos.
