Home: Ukrainian Photography, UK Words @ New Adelphi
4 March - 8 March 2024
New Adelphi, University of Salford
Open 8 AM – 6 PM
Launch event: 4 March, 6 PM / RSVP
New Adelphi building will display the Home: Ukrainian Photography, UK Words exhibition on its first stop of the Arts Council England funded UK tour, with a launch event held on Monday 4th March from 6–7:30PM.
Home: Ukrainian Photography, UK Words showcases work from 15 Ukrainian photographers who reveal Ukrainians’ current experience, and fundamental human values that underpin our idea of ‘home’: family and friends in a safe space, the beautiful landscapes, culture, and identity. The exhibition was first shown in Liverpool at Open Eye Gallery in May 2023.
Anastasiia Manuliak, Head of Visual Art, Ukrainian Institute, said: We are delighted to continue our collaboration with Open Eye Gallery and NGO Ukrainian Photography in the framework of Home exhibition, showcasing distinguished examples of Ukrainian photography. During Russia’s war in Ukraine, art and culture have become the fulcrum of social resistance, with photography playing an exceptional role as a medium that both reflects and captures the essence of the times.
The exhibition is accompanied by Home from Home film by Open Eye Gallery, showing in the New Adelphi Exhibition Gallery.
The film will screen for a week in the exhibition space of the New Adelphi. In Home from Home, interviews with Ukrainian and UK citizens, photographers and curators are layered with lyric responses by UK poets, to create an overarching sense of the power of art to express various perspectives on the importance of home.
