The war in Ukraine has been raging for over three years. Nevertheless, the attention of many media outlets has now shifted to other, more current crises.
People continue to be killed every day in Ukraine, families fear for their loved ones and the population tries to maintain a semblance of normality despite the war.
This is why Titus Ackermann - curator of the exhibition and publisher of the free comic magazine MOGA MOBO - decided to publish a book with works by Ukrainian comic artists.
At the Comic Salon in Erlangen 2024, these works were presented for the first time together with numerous other works.
The exhibition was adapted for the schauraum: comic + cartoon in Dortmund and supplemented with current developments.
The schauraum presents an impressive exhibition dedicated to the works of Ukrainian comic artists who show the war from a different, personal and artistic perspective.
This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to take a look at the reality of life in a country marked by war and destruction.
The comics and works on display tell stories of resistance, loss, hope and everyday survival in the midst of an ongoing conflict. They combine different styles and perspectives.
Each drawing, each scene conveys an impression of the human experience and illustrates the emotional and social impact of war.
It is a reminder that there are people behind the headlines: Artists who put their experiences, fears and dreams on paper to share with the world what words alone often cannot express.
