Now in Kyiv, there is an exhibition of the works of the Ukrainian and Israeli photographers “Between war and peace. Ukraine-Israel”.






The artists of Ukraine and Israel have shown what they see life in all its forms, on a background of a war.

At the exhibition works, which have been photographed in different places, by different photographers during the Revolution of dignity, in the Donbas and during the Arab-Israeli conflict, are presented. But the depth and the similarity of problems really strike: it looks like it is one people in the photo. There and here ordinary people defend their freedom, fight back to the enemy and desire only one thing - peace and happiness. Here you can see clear parallels between what is happening here in Ukraine and that what Israel is going through. It becomes clear how small the world is, how fragile the boundary between war and peace is.
The first stage of the exhibition was held in Israel. Then the exposition was visited by thousands of Israelis. I am sure that in Ukraine it will be visited by no fewer spectators. The exhibition in Kiev will continue until June 20, in the Ostannya Barykada (the Last Barricade) on the Maidan (Independence Square, 1), near Lyadsky gate. After this the exhibition will be transported to Kharkiv, and then - to Lviv.
