Unless you’ve been under a rock, you should know that Russia violently and illegally invaded Ukraine in February.
They have proceeded to kill civilians, disobey ceasefires, and force the Ukrainian president to plea with the West for assistance.
Art has often been the refuge of civil disobedience — and this war has seen some images created that are haunting and evoke the resilience of the Ukrainian people.
