Art project «Nashi»

On March 28, the opening of the commemorative exhibition of the «Nashi» art project dedicated to Artem Tymchenko was held at PC Metalurgiv.

The author of the project, artist Oksana Shabas, interprets the experience of war, losses and gratitude to Ukrainian soldiers through art. «Nashi» is a space of memory and gratitude, where personal stories are revealed through pain, strength of struggle and indomitable desire to live on.

The exposition presents more than 100 portraits of defenders and veterans — those who defended and continue to defend Ukraine, as well as those who, unfortunately, died.
