Exhibition 'Letters to the Future': New Perspectives on Art

On May 7 at 15:00, the opening of the Polish-Ukrainian photo project exhibition 'Letters to the Future' will take place at the Library on European Street, 67.

This project was initiated in response to the ongoing military actions in Ukraine, calling for empathy, mutual understanding, and support. It emphasizes that shared values like freedom, dignity, and justice are universal for all people.

In its struggle against aggression, Ukraine demonstrates immense strength and resilience. In these challenging conditions, it preserves and actively develops its culture and arts, which play a crucial role in maintaining national identity. The mission of artists during the war is to instill hope and emotions, fostering the preservation and restoration of the nation's spirit and creating cultural values that will serve as benchmarks for future generations.

Overall, the exhibition 'Letters to the Future' is a kind of message from the Polish people, bringing light even in darkness.

The exhibition cycle began in December 2024 at the Municipal Gallery in Sumy and continued in 2025 in Lviv, Kyiv, Kropyvnytskyi, Dnipro, Rivne, Chernihiv, Odesa, and then through Kharkiv, Lublin, and Warsaw.

The exhibition features 49 photographs by 27 authors, including renowned and award-winning Polish artists such as Aleksandra Shmigiel, Amina Ksenzhopolska, Anna Michalak, and others.

The works are distinguished by technical mastery and profound content, prompting reflection on human resilience and the importance of unity in preserving peace.
