The project consists of separate exhibitions, each of which reveals different facets of modern life in Ukraine, its historical past, which influences the present. Through the works of modern Ukrainian art, the project reflects the uniqueness of the Ukrainian cultural space, its diversity, and significance for the international community.

The first part was the exhibition of the curator Halyna Skliarenko, entitled "People Live Here", which aims to draw attention to the "human dimension of war" that is often lost in political discussions.

Over the three decades of independence, our society has experienced social upheaval, political and economic crises, and now our country has to confront Russia's aggression. All of these events have had an impact on the lives of every Ukrainian and have affected the perception of our country in the world.

The exhibition project was launched at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Diplomacy helps to shape the image of a country, which affects its perception in the international arena.
