SOLIDARITY WITH UKRAINE
Solidarity and Creation for
Ukraine
The shock of the attack on Ukraine and the plight of the people affected by the war had a profound impact on me, both as a spectator and as a creator.
My commitment to total solidarity with the Ukraine has given rise to a project combining artistic creation and humanitarian action.
The artistic component of this exhibition is an installation of sculptures and monotypes in Ukrainian colors.
These works, presented together in an immersive and engaging exhibition, offer an artistic and human experience inviting viewers to reflect on war, solidarity and hope for a better future in Ukraine.
This traveling exhibition began in Boulbon and is due to tour Provence before ending in Ukraine.
This first exhibition in Boulbon raised €2,500 for the Ukrainian Red Cross.
The artistic and humanitarian aims of this ‘Solidarity and Creation for Ukraine’ project are many and ambitious:
1. Raising awareness of the reality of war: The installation aims to provoke deep reflection on the consequences of war and its impact on the people affected, primarily in Ukraine.
2. Raising funds to support the Ukrainian population: The funds raised by the exhibition and the sale of the monotypes will help to provide direct aid to people affected by the conflict in Ukraine, in partnership with the French Red Cross.
3. Encouraging solidarity and empathy: By sharing this initiative, the aim is also to generate a sense of solidarity and empathy among the public, encouraging them to take action in support of an important cause. The participatory dimension consists of the creation, by volunteers in Ingo Hoffmann's Jollion studio in Boulbon, of monotypes made prior to the exhibition, which will enrich the installation.
4. Promoting artistic commitment to humanitarian causes: By encouraging other artists to use their art as a means of action, the project aims to amplify its impact and inspire similar initiatives in the future.
This artistic project goes beyond the boundaries of a simple exhibition to become a catalyst for change, commitment and hope for people affected by the conflict in Ukraine.
