The moving and harrowing exhibit, which is temporarily located on the second-floor lobby of City Hall, is made up of over 30 images captured by 13 Ukrainian and Estonian photographers. It was curated by Kateryna Radchenko from Ukraine and Estonia’s Okapi Gallery.
The official opening on June 14 was marked by the singing of the Canadian and Ukrainian national anthems by Hamilton’s Konstantyn Sheweli and it was the first public event to be held inside City Hall in over two years due to the pandemic.
The Cotton Factory’s Rob Zeidler says the photos were first put together and curated from a gallery located in Tallinn, Estonia and brought to Canada by a staffer from the Odesa Photo Days Festival.
“It’s Ukrainian photographers … who have recorded the war in Ukraine, both when it first started in 2014 and the most recent invasion starting on February 24th,” Zeidler told 900 CHML’s Good Morning Hamilton.
United for Ukraine: Images of War 2014-2022 photography exhibit is open to the public to view on the second floor lobby of City Hall during building operating hours and will run until June 28, 2022.
