“The Collective We” is a visual meditation on identity, belonging, and shared humanity—told through the expressive lens of contemporary figurative painting and photography.
Featuring international artists Kateryna Bortsova and Puja Sarkar, this exhibition centers the human form as both subject and symbol: a vessel of culture, memory, and emotional truth.
