Contra Spem Spero. Stories from Ukraine brings together stories of 11 Ukrainian artists who report on current events in Ukraine. These are diary reflections, memoirs, observations, and hopes.
Curator is Kateryna Radchenko and the artists: Lyubov Durakova, Nazar Furyk, Kateryna Aleksieienko, Alena Grom, Gera Artemova, Mykhailo Palinchak, Elena Subach, Pavlo Dorohoi, Serhiy Korovainyi, Dmytro Tolkachov and Volodymyr Petrov.
The exhibition is divided into three parts: Struggle, Hope, and Aftermath. Each of them speaks about the new reality and adaptation to life during the war, about the struggle for the existence of the country, about the traumatic experiences and the hope that motivates to keep on living.
The exhibition is organised by Odesa Photo Days Festival and the Azienda Speciale Palaexpo, in collaboration with the Representations of the European Parliament and the European Commission, the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Embassy of Spain, the Embassy of Sweden, and the Embassy of Ukraine in Italy.
