The Zimmerli Art Museum has extended an exhibition of Ukrainian art dedicated to the country’s history of self-determination and resilience in response to renewed interest as a result of the Russian invasion of the country that was once part of the Soviet Union. The exhibition explores the inventive art styles by Ukrainian artists responding to a transitional period of perestroika (restructuring) during the collapse of the Soviet Union. The exhibition highlights rediscovered histories and newly found freedoms that blossomed against economic scarcity and ecological calamity as the country reasserted its identity in the 1980s and 1990s.
