Ukrainian Dreamers from Kharkiv: photography exhibition of the Radvila Palace Museum of Art – on courage to dream and create

The Radvila Palace Museum of Art in Vilnius, Lithuania, has opened a major exhibition titled 'Ukrainian Dreamers: The Kharkiv School of Photography.' The show, created in collaboration with the Museum of Kharkiv School of Photography, presents the work of 33 artists and groups across four generations, featuring hundreds of photographs, videos, and archival objects. It traces the school's evolution from its rebellious origins in the 1970s under Soviet censorship through Ukraine's independence and up to the present day of ongoing Russian military aggression.

New space dedicated to Oleg Prokofiev—whose abstract art was censored by Soviet Russia—opens in London

A new art space called Prokofiev Studio has opened in Hackney, London, dedicated to the Russian artist Oleg Prokofiev. Its inaugural exhibition, 'Bending Time,' presents abstract works from the 1950s that were banned under Soviet censorship and long thought lost. The space was founded by Prokofiev’s children, including composer Gabriel Prokofiev, in collaboration with curator Anzhela Popova. The works were rediscovered in 1994 when Prokofiev returned to his former Moscow home and found them preserved by the new owner.
