CREES is delighted to support the international art exhibition Between Voice and Silence. Dedicated to the fallen Ukrainian poet Maksym Kryvtsov, the exhibit’s title is borrowed from one of his poems. Exploring the role of empathy and humanity in the times of crisis, Ukrainian and American artists Katya Lisova (textiles), Matvii Vaisberg (prints), and Ira Bondarenko (ceramics) reflect on the power and limits of human agency in the face of overwhelming force.
Meet the artists at the opening reception on Sunday, September 14 from 3-5 pm in the
the University of Michigan’s Duderstadt Center Gallery, where the exhibition will be displayed through October 5, 2025.
This program was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. The Ann Arbor Chapter of the Ukrainian National Women's League of America (UNWLA) also provided support for the project.
