Mirroring a dystopian science fiction film, museums across Ukraine are in cultural hibernation: staff work from home, artworks are wrapped and stored, windows are boarded up. Once active and vibrant galleries sit in dark silence.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Impact Damage<\/strong><\/em>, meaning visible physical damage or destruction, recreates a shuttered museum somewhere in Ukraine. The galleries are filled with the museums collection, from paintings and sculptures to embroidered garments and historic ceramic objects. Yet there are no lights to fully navigate the exhibition, the galleries are dark an dismal. The only light comes from three large scale, wall sized\u00a0 video projectinos by the Kyiv-based film collective Babylon &#8217;13. The collective consists of 100 activist filmakers, photography directors, sound engineers, producers, and editors. The group has been working together since November 2013, and is now creating short, narrative films of the current war. Their stories reflect the drama and tragedy across the country and the charged moments outside the walls of the museum in any city. This exhibition is intended to parallel and create emotional connections to what cultural institutions in Ukraine are experiencing on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"_aacl _aacp _aacw _aacx _aad7 _aade\">The Ukrainian Museum<br \/>\n222 E 6th St<br \/>\nNew York NY<br \/>\nopen wed-sun 11:30 to 5:00<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"_ab8w  _ab94 _ab99 _ab9f _ab9m _ab9p _abcm\">\n<div class=\"_aacl _aacp _aacu _aacy _aad6 _aade\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_aacl _aacp _aacu _aacx _aad6 _aade\">A museum dedicated to the enjoyment, understanding, and preservation of the artistic &amp; cultural heritage of Ukraine.<\/div>\n<div class=\"_aacl _aacp _aacw _aacz _aada _aade\">www.ukrainianmuseum.org<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>30 September 2022 &#8211; 08 January 2023 The Russian invasion has put cultural activities in Ukraine on hold.
