"The Place We Call Home" is a powerful, month-long multimedia photography exhibition shedding light on the resilience, courage, and spirit of Ukrainian civilians living through the turmoil of war in occupied territories. This exhibition offers a sharp glimpse into the harsh realities faced by Ukrainians, as well as the hope that emerges following their liberation.

In collaboration with Ukraїner and through the lens of photographers embedded in these conflict zones, visitors will witness the destruction and pain left on the occupied territories, yet also the undying will of the people to rebuild and reclaim their homes. These stories, told visually, are a tribute to human strength and determination, encapsulating the blend of despair and hope experienced in war-torn regions.

Through awareness, fundraising and solidarity, the exhibition aims to contribute directly to the safety and future of Ukraine’s people.
