Oksana Briukhovetska: In the Name of Life
About this Event
Join us for the opening reception of In the Name of Life, a textile art exhibition by Kyiv-based artist Oksana Briukhovetska.
Working in textile collage, stitching together fabric and found cloth by hand, using craft skills passed down from her grandmother, Briukhovetska builds images that hold generations of women's experience. The works move between memory and the present: her grandmother's survival of the Second World War in the Volyn region, and the ongoing reality of Russia's war against Ukraine today.
The exhibition is dedicated to women, living and those who have passed, and to their often invisible but fundamental work in the name of life.
