CREES Co-Sponsored Event. Exhibit Opening and Reception. Between Voice and Silence: U-M Art Initiative Grant, CREES, Ann Arbor Chapter of Ukrainian National Women’s League of America (UNWLA)

U-M Duderstadt Center Gallery presents an international art exhibition "Between Voice and Silence', exploring the role of empathy and humanity in the times of crisis. Through their works, Ukrainian and American artists Katya Lisova (textiles), Matvii Vaisberg (prints), and Ira Bondarenko (ceramics) reflect on the power and limits of human agency in the face of overwhelming force. The value of humanity lies in its capacity to transcend adversity by embracing compassion and keeping empathy and human connection alive in the most oppressive darkness. The project examines this concept through the lens of works of Ukrainian artists and poets and emphasizes the role of ordinary people in building resilience and saving the country. The exhibition was made possible by the UM Art Initiative Grant and co-sponsored by the Center for Russian, East European, & Eurasian Studies (CREES) and the Ann Arbor Chapter of Ukrainian National Women's League of America (UNWLA).

The date and time provided are for the Artists' Reception only. The actual exhibit will be open from September 14 to October 5. The hours for the exhibit are 12-6:00 PM Tu-Fri & Sun.
