Place of Power Exhibition

Place of Power Exhibition

The exhibition shares the stories of Ukrainian women, displaced by war, and resettled in Lancashire, alongside images of them in their ‘places of power’ – places where they have been able to reclaim a feeling of strength. Place of Power was dreamt up by artist Libby Burke Wilde and a group of Ukrainian refugees who recently resettled in Lancashire. Libby said: “It was a complete privilege to get to know the women and families who were photographed for Place of Power. “Their strength to tell their stories and continue to raise awareness about the war in Ukraine is remarkable. “By photographing each person in a place that made them feel powerful again and inviting them to write letters left completely up to their own interpretation, this is a project about people who’ve had control taken away from them reclaiming it once more.”
