Description

This exhibition has now closed

This exhibition runs from Friday 3rd February 2023 to Sunday 7th May 2023.


The invasion of Ukraine by Russia in 2022 shocked the world. Yet for those living in Donbas and Crimea, the harsh reality of war has loomed since 2014, foreboding a conflict which has become one of Europe's most devastating since the Second World War. Its impact on the everyday lives of Ukrainian civilians is the subject of this new photography exhibition at IWM London.

This exhibition presents photographs from internationally renowned photojournalist Anastasia Taylor-Lind. Made during her time in Ukraine between 2014 and June 2022, these powerful works document the devastating reality of living amidst conflict.

The new exhibition presents her work in three sections:

focusing on the 2014 protests in Kyiv
the ongoing conflict for individuals living in eastern Ukraine
and the current Russian invasion

Alongside these images, the exhibition includes perspectives from those on both sides of the camera. During her time in Ukraine, Anastasia worked alongside long-term collaborator and friend, Ukrainian journalist Alisa Sopova. Alisa's voice is heard throughout the exhibition by way of captions and wall texts.

Quotes from people Anastasia photographed also reflect on the harsh realities of the war. It brings to life the human stories of a handful of individuals within this conflict which has affected millions.
