Ten artists have come to Chicago through the fellowship sponsored by Chicago sculptor John David Mooney, who said the presentation of their work has helped Americans better understand Ukraine’s rich culture and the impact of the war.
Offering to take up arms to defend Ukraine, hundreds of people are training in the country s cultural capital as the weeks-long war with Russia rages on.
As Russian bombs drop, Ukrainians unite to protect precious artworks. “There is an egomaniac in Moscow who doesn’t care about killing children, let alone destroying art,” said Ihor Kozhan, the director of the grand gallery opposite Lviv’s opera house.
