The exhibition is a result of Polish-Ukrainian archival co-operation. It presents historical drawings by Polish children from 1946 and contemporary drawings by Ukrainian children. The drawings record children’s experiences during World War II and the current war following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The Ukrainian drawings are collected on the Mom, I See War portal linked here.

• Dr Katarzyna Williams, Deputy Director, ANU Centre for European Studies
• Ms Agata Utnicka, Chargé d’Affaires a.i. of Poland
• H.E. Mr Vasyl Myroshnychenko, Ambassador of Ukraine

Light refreshment will be served at the conclusion of the event.
