About Love, which will not be taken away by shootings, destroyed bridges, or blackouts. Yes, defeats devastating and painful, but faith in inevitable victory and the strength of the Ukrainian nation will always prevail.
The exhibition, which presents contemporary Ukrainian art as well as works by Lithuanian and Latvian artists, will last until April 20, 2023, at the Vilnius Town Hall (Didžioji g. 31, 01128 Vilnius).
