NUJU opens Ukraine: Journalists On The Front Line exhibition at Kyiv metro for Journalist’s Day (ANNOUNCEMENT)

Ukraine: Journalists on the Front Line photo exhibition will open on Friday, June 2, at 12 p.m. It will be opened at the lobby of the Kyiv metro station Zoloti Vorota [Golden Gate]. The event will be dedicated to Journalist’s Day.

Symbolically, the metro station serving as a shelter for citizens during air raid alerts was picked as the venue of the exhibition. The event organizers are the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine (NUJU), the network of Journalists’ Solidarity Centers, and the Kyivinform municipal enterprise. The partner of the exhibition organizers is Kyiv Metropoliten municipal enterprise.

“The main leitmotif of the photo exhibition is solidarity with our colleagues who do their difficult work in the war zone, with journalists who were captured by the enemy, with media workers who managed to escape from the occupied and front-line territories and resume the activities of their mass media, with all those colleagues, who need help,” emphasizes Sergiy Tomilenko, the President of the NUJU.

The exhibition will present:

• 40 pictures by famous photographers Stanyslav Yurchenko, Efrem Lukatsky, Yan Dobronosov, Yevhen Zavhorodnyi, Ihor Huriyev, Roman Potapenko, Boris Korpusenko, Serhii Klymenko, Mariya Kovaliova, Takashi Ozaki and others, illustrating the work of Ukrainian war journalists;
• information about media workers killed as a result of Russian aggression;
• photos from media representatives being persecuted by the Russian authorities in Crimea, as well as Dmytro Khyliuk, the journalist currently staying in Russia’s captivity;
• newspapers restored in the de-occupied and front-line territories with the assistance of the NUJU and its international partners.

Some of the photos presented at the exhibition were taken with the help of cameras received from the NUJU with the support of international partners.

Well-known Ukrainian war correspondents, journalists from Crimea, family members of killed media persons, and journalists released from captivity are invited to the event.

We invite colleagues, partners, and public figures to participate in the exhibition’s opening and show solidarity with Ukrainian journalists on the eve of their professional day.
