Depicting Genocide: 20th Century Responses to the Holodomor

For more than a half-century, artistic memorializations of the Holodomor were remarkably rare. The UHEC is honored to have a number of these early works in its permanent collection. This exhibition explores the varied approaches that artists have used to tackle the topic of this genocidal artificial famine. In addition to images of the artworks, it also provides information on the Holodomor as a historical event and its impact on Ukrainian society, without which the artwork cannot be fully appreciated.
