The Ukrainian Museum Spotlights Contemporary Artist Lesia Khomenko

A new exhibition at The Ukrainian Museum features the work of artist Lesia Khomenko, who fled Ukraine in March 2022 after Russia invaded her country. She left behind her husband, also an artist, who is currently serving in Ukraine's military. Lesia Khomenko: Image and Presence, is her first solo exhibition in the U.S., and her paintings on view examine identity, politics, and violence in the context of the war. Khomenko joins us alongside curator Lilia Kudelia to discuss the show, which is on view until September 2.
