EXHIBIT OPENING Forged in Fire, Etched in Memory

Forged in Fire, Etched in Memory: Ukrainian Artistic Creativity in the Face of War

Join us for a powerful exhibit showcasing modern trench art from Ukraine. Amidst the ongoing fight for sovereignty, soldiers and civilians are turning remnants of war—spent shell casings, helmets, and other materials—into moving works of art. These pieces, including handcrafted items made to support front-line efforts, reflect resilience, patriotism, and remembrance. Discover how destruction is transformed into beauty, and stories of struggle become symbols of hope and identity.

Don’t miss this tribute to Ukrainian spirit and creativity in the face of Russia's brutal invasion.

Special thanks to Oleksandr Tkachenko and United Support for Ukraine for their support generously lending items for the exhibit.
