INVITATION to the Opening of "Not All of Them" Photography Exhibition
The Ukraine House and The Embassy of Lithuania to the U.S. cordially invite you to the grand opening of "Not All of Them", an exhibition of black and white photography depicting portraits of war refugees from Ukraine in Lithuania. The event will take place on Wednesday, February 28th, 5:30 pm at the Ukraine House (address: 2134 Kalorama Rd NW, Washington, DC 20008) and the exhibition will be open to the public until March 25th. “Not all of Them” showcases 27 unique photographs and stories of Ukrainian refugees who fled the country following the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022. These individuals, mainly women with children, sought refuge in Lithuania while their loved ones remained in Ukraine. Presented with accompanying texts, the portraits in “Not All of Them” reveal faces and poses clearly of a people infallible to defeat or subjugation. Almost all of the subjects’ personal stories end with “I want to go back there” or “I’ll go back as soon as I can.” The photographs were captured by internationally acclaimed Lithuanian photographer Antanas Sutkus, known for his humanistic approach, alongside his talented younger peers Artūras Morozovas and Tadas Kazakevičius. An 18-minute documentary, “Fotosesija: Not All of Them”, about the making of this photographic project by famed Lithuanian filmmaker Vytautas V. Landsbergis will be shown throughout the run of the exhibition. On February 28th at 5:30 pm, the exhibition will be opened by the Ambassador of Lithuania to the U.S. Audra Plepytė and the Ambassador of Ukraine to the U.S. Oksana Markarova. This exhibition is a reminder to the community in Washington, DC that the war persists, and Ukrainian families have endured separation for over two years. We invite you to join us on this touching evening and be among the first to witness these powerful images. Please RSVP at ukrainehousedc@gmail.com.
