Join New York-based curator Monika Fabijanska as she guides you through her acclaimed exhibition Women at War on loan from the Fridman Gallery (NYC). Women at War features works by a selection of the leading contemporary women artists working in Ukraine and provides a context for the current war, as represented in art across media. War is central to history. History has been written (and painted) by men. This exhibition provides a platform for female narrators of history and examines the perception of war as gendered.
