“We invite all of Europe for a personal conversation. Our artists stay in Ukraine, because they cannot leave or they deliberately want to miss the personal experience of the war through creativity, so that as many people as possible around the world learn what is happening in Ukraine now. The exhibition tells stories, after which your vision of the war can change radically”, said project curator Katya Taylor. >.
“They are trying to take our home away from us. The house where our families lived in peace and harmony for years. After heavy rocket bombardment and terror, thousands of happy family photos and memories dissolved into horrific images of mangled homes and destroyed lives. Tens of thousands of lives that you can't get back. This is how our house looks today, – stressed Maksim Kononenko, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine in the Netherlands. – More than 12 million Ukrainians have left their homes and found temporary shelter abroad, hoping that one day they will return to Ukraine to rebuild the broken walls and wounded souls” .

“Part of the participants of the exhibition stayed to live and work in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Kherson, Donetsk and other Ukrainian cities. Their works, which we can see today in Amsterdam, shed light on the events of the Russian invasion. The war cannot stop their creativity. These people use the power of imagination at a time when their cities and homes are surrounded by the enemy, said Turia Meliani, deputy of the city head of Amsterdam. – Their creativity unites us with the courage, bravery and resilience of Ukrainians”.
“Creativity is the best way to be involved and tell stories, – notedChafik Benny, founder of the DOOR FOUNDATION and the cultural hub DOOR OPEN SPACE, – The war is not over! Let's remember and talk about it. War can come anywhere, so it's important for us to stay ready.”.
