Join us for the gallery reception of We Know Who They Are (WKWTA) by Conflicted Art, an immersive and deeply moving exhibition confronting the realities of the war in Ukraine. Curated by Yevgen Nemchenko and Benjamin Cunningham’s Conflicted Art, this powerful multimedia project reflects both the tragedy and resilience of a nation at war.

Through firsthand video accounts and interactive displays featuring artifacts this exhibit offers an unfiltered look into lived experiences of conflict. We Know Who They Are is more than an exhibition, it is a call to witness, to remember, and to engage in meaningful dialogue.

Enjoy complimentary hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar as you explore this impactful installation and connect with others in a shared space of reflection and awareness.
