‘New Generation’
The new exhibition at the Nu Art gallery in Kyiv is a chance to explore the works of contemporary Ukrainian photographers. Called “New Generation,” the exhibition features the works of 16 young and talented Ukrainian photographers who explore different aspects of life through their work. All photographs featured in the exhibition explore different topics: Some depict Kyiv and its residents, others portray flowers of different forms and colors, as well as children’s playgrounds, and some photographs, on the other hand, show mysterious operating rooms. The exhibition will be held in Kyiv until Dec. 11. The entrance is free.
