Ukrainian Photography in the Time of War: The Work of Marta Syrko

Описание: Contemporary Lviv-based photographer Marta Syrko (b. 1995) discusses her recently-commissioned series Wrapping Art—Art of Salvation, which debuted in MOIFA’s current exhibition Amidst Cries from the Rubble: Art of Loss and Resilience from Ukraine presented in the Mark Naylor and Dale Gunn Gallery of Conscience. Building on her earlier war-related Sculpture Series, Syrko explores the ways in which the war has affected her artistic process and provides a unique perspective on the physical and emotional transformations brought about by the conflict. This talk was held in the Vernick Auditorium at the Museum of International Folk Art on September 15th, 2024.
