Topic: "Life in a War Zone: Photographs from Ukraine"
Experience a gripping visual account of life in Ukraine amid war through a presentation of compelling, on-the-ground photography. These images capture the strength, sorrow, and everyday humanity of those living through conflict—civilians in bomb shelters, families displaced from their homes, soldiers on the front lines, and moments of quiet resilience amid chaos.
Following the presentation, a moderated Q&A session will offer deeper insight into the stories behind the photographs. The photographer will discuss the challenges of documenting war, ethical considerations, and the emotional impact of witnessing such profound moments of struggle and survival.
This is not just a photo exhibit—it’s a raw and honest look at life unfolding in real time under the shadow of war.
