Exhibition "Confronting Catastrophes"
18.09.2025 18:00 o?clock | New York
The Ukrainian Institute of America presents Confronting Catastrophes, an exhibition of paintings by Yohanan Petrovsky-Shtern. Acting as a miniature survey, this exhibition features past and new works reflecting on personal and communal feedback to the resistance, stamina, and suffering of the Ukrainian people. The artist uses parallels between the fate of the Ukrainians at war and of Jews during the Holocaust and the catastrophe that befell Jews on October 7. Such topical parallelism have become part of a widely accepted and cultural war-time discourse in Ukraine and beyond. This marks Petrovsky-Shtern’s third solo exhibition with the UIA.
Confronting Catastrophes displays a compelling evolution of Petrovsky-Shtern’s art, shaped by the tragedies of the 20th and 21st centuries.
ibidem Press is proud to be the publisher of the accompanying exhibition Catalogue "Confronting Catastrophes: The Art of Yohanan Petrovsky-Shtern", edited by Anastasia Simferovska, available now.
The exhibition will be open September 18, 2025 @ 6:00 pm - November 16, 2025 @ 6:00 pm.
