Group exhibition created to promote the power and importance of Ukraine's cultural identity. Talking about the show, the curators say "[Phoenix Rising] marks the first occasion for Ukrainian artists to exhibit their work collectively in London since Russia's invasion into Ukraine. Curated by Alice Nanavova, Tetiana Malinovska
[This exhibition] is a statement of Ukraine's resilience and determination to preserve its unique cultural identity in the face of decades of Russian and Soviet interference. By showcasing the historical works of prominent Ukrainian artists, this exhibition presents a compelling narrative of courage and fortitude, highlighting the enduring resilience of Ukrainian culture... Today, the world is discovering the beauty and complexity of Ukrainian culture, which has suffered repression for centuries. This exhibition presents the united response of Ukrainian artists to the escalation of the war, in tune with the cohesion of society and the government, affirming Ukraine's national identity. Its persuasiveness is manifested in the polyphony of voices that are confident in their right to freedom and dignity."
