The exhibition opening was proceeded by a dialogue about Ukraine with Tim Snyder, author of current NY Times Bestseller “On Tyranny”, a famous expert on Eastern Europe history, professor of history of Yale University.
Ukraine’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Volodymyr Yelchenko, invited guest Timothy Snyder, and the exhibited artists to present the project at the UN in New York.
