Merging with the Garden will also showcase the photo series “Roots” by Artem Humilevskyi – a member of a Ukrainian conceptual photography school “MYTH.” The series explores topics of identity, resilience, and human interrelationships in times of adversity.
The show is organized by Rukh Art Hub , in partnership with Razom for Ukraine — a leading US-based nonprofit organization that supports a democratic and prosperous Ukraine. With its robust international network of partners and volunteers, Razom, which means “together” in Ukrainian, brings in humanitarian aid and supports health and services programs that provide assistance and relief for civilians in need.
Merging with the Garden exhibition runs through June 04 at Mriya Gallery, located at 101 Reade St, Tribeca.
