Exhibition “Mariupol Unbroken” at Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra

February 24 – March 2, 2025
Bell Tower of Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra
Opening hours: 10:00 – 17:30
Free entry (with the purchase of an entrance ticket to Lavra)

The exhibition is dedicated to the anniversary of the beginning of the full-scale war and serves as a powerful artistic statement on resilience, pain, and hope.

“Mariupol Unbroken” is a unique international art project, launched in June 2022 in Mariupol itself. This project is more than just an exhibition—it is an artistic front that unites artists from across Ukraine and the world, expressing support for Mariupol and Ukraine’s fight for freedom through their works.

Today, the project features over 100 works by renowned and emerging artists, representing various styles and genres. Despite their diversity, all these artworks share a common theme—they are dedicated either to Mariupol itself or to the phenomenon of resilience and the struggle for life and freedom.

The project has already gained international recognition and has been showcased in numerous cities across Ukraine and Europe, becoming a cultural bridge between nations, an artistic testimony of war, and a symbol of the resilience of the Ukrainian people.

Symbolic Location:

The central bell of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra Bell Tower was cast in Mariupol—a city that has become a symbol of Ukraine’s unbreakable spirit.

Come and experience the indomitable spirit of Mariupol through art.
