Opening of the international art project “Together We Stand. Documentation”

Opening of the international art project “Together We Stand. Documentation” by American artist Phil Buhler and Ukrainian curator Olena Speranska.

Saturday 7 March, 4 pm.
@‌artcenter.zaporizhzhia
145 Sobornyi Avenue

This art project is an artistic manifesto of solidarity, where documentary practice, historical testimony, and collective energy converge. It unites Ukraine and the United States through a shared act of witnessing russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The project speaks about ordinary people — civilians, not politicians — those who defend their country, those who sustain and support life behind the front lines, and those who carry the voice of truth beyond national borders.

"Together We Stand. Documentation" exists as both artistic gesture and historical record — a collective portrait of solidarity, resilience, and the enduring human capacity to stand together in defence of freedom.
