“Exhibition at Gulbene Regional Museum Honors Ukrainian Heroes through Latvian and Ukrainian Artworks”

The Gulbene Regional Museum of History and Art exhibits an exhibition that includes the works of Latvian artists dedicated to Ukraine, as well as the works of three Ukrainian artists who currently live and work in Latvia. This exhibition is a special tribute to the brave Ukrainian heroes.

In the exhibition hall of the museum in Gulbene, there are works in which the bright colors characteristic of Ukraine are clearly marked. The exhibition “Touches of the soul – painful, sad and bright” can be viewed here. The author of the idea of ​​the exhibition is Venta Kocere, director of the Academic Library of the University of Latvia, who created the exhibition “Dedication to Ukraine” together with other creative Latvian personalities last year. It was a big surprise when I learned that very few Latvian artists have been to Ukraine. They have been to Italy, Spain, Egypt, they have been everywhere, but they have not been to Ukraine. I was upset. I think – what if my idea will not be implemented.”
