NEWS RELEASE
BRADFORD WEST GWILLIMBURY PUBLIC LIBRARY
*************************
From Nov. 25 to Dec. 8, 2023, community members are invited to visit a photo exhibition entitled Kyiv is the Unbreakable Heart of Europe in the Zima Room at the Bradford West Gwillimbury Public Library and Cultural Centre.
In partnership with the Ukrainian Community of Bradford and IOUC Fourth Wave, the BWG library is excited to showcase this exhibition, which has travelled around the world: from Austria to Germany to the U.K. and to cities in Canada.
The photo exhibition showcases iconic photographs by Ukrainian and foreign photographers, depicting a year in the life of Ukrainians in Ukraine. The photos serve as a vivid representation of the heroism, suffering, hope, and victories of the Ukrainian people.
“This exhibition illustrates the impact of war on Ukrainians and their resilience in the face of adversity. We as Canadian-Ukrainians wanted to show our Bradford community that the war is still going on and that Ukraine is still fighting,” said Oksana Kobzar, one of the leads of the resident-led Ukrainian Community of Bradford, which meets monthly at the BWG library. “Ukraine is paying such a high price for our independence and freedom.”
Residents are invited to attend the free opening reception of the exhibition on Saturday, Nov. 25 from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Zima Room.
