Gary Axelbank talks with BRAC Executive Dirtector Gail Nathan and Curator Irina Danilova about BRAC Gallery exhibition Peremoha.

Peremoha showcases Ukrainian women artists; Olia Fedorova (Kharkiv), Daria Koltsova (Kharkiv), Maria Kulikovska (Kerch, Crimea), Natalia Lisova (Vinnytsia), and Maria Proshkowska (Kyiv), belong to a generation that was raised in independent Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Russian occupation of Crimea and its military invasion of the Donbass occurred when they were just entered adulthood. These tragic events, and the associative Russian barbarianism, shaped these artists perspectives on the human condition and the need to take a stand for Ukraine’s autonomy. These five women artists have become known in Ukraine for their courageous outspokenness and are now becoming renowned throughout Europe for their strength in the face of oppression and atrocities.
