What does it mean to witness a nation at war – not from a distance, but through the lives of those enduring it?

Join us at the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art for a compelling conversation with photographer Eric Bladholm, presented in conjunction with his exhibition, Ukraine: Voices from the Gray Zone.

Through nine humanitarian missions to Ukraine between 2022 and 2026, Bladholm has documented the human realities of Russia's war against Ukraine. His photographs and videos reveal not only the devastation and growing dangers faced by civilians, but also their extraordinary resilience, courage, and determination to carry on.

More than a photographic record, the exhibition bears witness to lives disrupted by war, communities under siege, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.

Hear firsthand from an artist who has returned to Ukraine time and again – not simply to document what is happening, but to understand the people, their stories, and the lives behind the images.
