Yesterday we went up to Manchester for the reception of the Bridge of Sunflowers Exhibition.
This exhibition displays works made by Ukrainian children about the war and how it is making them feel/ how it is affecting them. It was really moving to see all these pieces about how the war was affecting them and their families, especially with the descriptions and background information about some of the artists specific situation.
We helped set up the extra pieces for the reception and took some photos for NSI’s socials. The reception was nice, the Lord Mayor of Manchester was there, some of the local school children that took part in the workshops read their poetry out loud. Overall it was a very nice event!
This is my personal favourite piece from the exhibition. The description attached to the piece:
‘Karolina from Lviv.
The Mum of the hare family is comforting the little babies during an arial attack of the invading russian army on the ruins of a settlement.’
