Opening of the Student Art Exhibition "Helmet of Memory. The Continuation of the Story"

Invitation: Opening of the Student Art Exhibition "Helmet of Memory. The Continuation of the Story"

On May 28, 2026, a special section of the “Helmet of Memory. The Continuation of the Story” exhibition will open at the Museum of Civilian Voices by the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation, featuring 30 works by winners of an open interregional student art competition. This project is a joint initiative of the Museum of Civilian Voices and the Kharkiv Art Museum.

The exhibition continues the initiative launched in April, when skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych presented the museum with a helmet featuring 22 portraits of athletes and coaches from Mariupol, including 8 children. The helmet was created by artist Iryna Prots based on the athlete’s concept. This story now lives on through the works of a new generation.

The Museum of Civilian Voices preserves more than 145,000 stories of civilians affected by Russia’s war against Ukraine, including approximately 12,500 stories from residents of Mariupol.

 

Date of the event: May 28, 2026
