This exhibition showcases a unique part of Ukrainian cultural heritage destroyed by the russian bombing of the Kakhovka Dam. Polina Raiko was an original naive artist, and her murals on the walls of her house in Oleshky became an important element of Ukrainian art. The exhibition offers a chance to touch this war-damaged artistic heritage, now preserved only in memory and documentation.

At the "Polina Raiko. Disappearing" exhibition, you will find:

- Archival photographs

- Films about the artist

- Stories of her life and work

- VR tour of the artist's house, filmed before the disaster
