Polly Braden: Leaving Ukraine

15 March - 1 September 2024

Capturing displaced Ukrainian women's journeys through intimate photos and film.

Discover the personal journeys of displaced women and children in Leaving Ukraine, an exhibition featuring photographs and short films by Polly Braden. This intimate portrayal captures the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, showcasing the extraordinary experiences of mothers, daughters, teenagers, and infants.

Braden's lens follows these lives scattered across Europe, depicting moments from job interviews and school days to family reunions and challenging night shifts. The exhibition delves into four central stories, offering insights into forging new lives, pursuing education, starting a legal career, and the struggles faced by mothers and friends seeking refuge.
