"A match is silent, but it speaks"

Upcoming September 2025, Edinburgh

This is a transformative group exhibition marking the journey of our first cohort of 24 Ukrainian displaced artists. Since 2022, these individuals have faced the dual challenge of processing profound trauma and rebuilding their creative practices in the wake of displacement. This exhibition celebrates their resilience and artistic evolution. Offering an opportunity to those, that until now, may not have had the chance to seen and heard by wider audience.

Impact

This exhibition is an opportunity to showcase the talents of 24 Ukrainian refugee artists, sharing heir unique voices, allowing a glimpse of the personal and collective journeys over the last year.

This showcase is our collective attempt to navigate the integration of displaced artists into the local arts scene as active, valued members of society.

These artists are provided an opportunity to create a series of new art work which will upgrade their artistic profiles and empower them to build sustainable pathways.

This exhibition is a pivotal moment for these displaced artists to transform their traumatic experiences into the future, breaking down barriers and building meaningful connections.
