OPENING RECEPTION Yohanan Petrovsky-Shtern: Confronting Catastrophes

The Ukrainian Institute of America is pleased to present an exhibition of paintings by Yohanan Petrovsky-Shern titled Confronting Catastrophes, on view from September 18 to November 16, 2025.

The artist reflects personal and communal feedback to the resistance, stamina, and suffering of the Ukrainian people. He uses parallels between the fate of the Ukrainians at war and of Jews during the Holocaust and the catastrophe that befell Jews on October 7. Such parallelism became part of a widely accepted and cultural war-time discourse in Ukraine.

Opening reception for the artist and book signing on Thursday, September 6:00–8:00 p.m., Ukrainian Institute of America, 2 East 79th Street NYC.

An exhibition catalog published in conjunction with Confronting Catastrophes will be available at the UIA.
