Rukh Art Hub presented “SHERO”, an exciting art show in NYC, featuring works by prominent contemporary artists from Ukraine. The exhibit graced the halls of Mriya Gallery, a venue known for showcasing Ukrainian artists in the US.
According to the organizers, “SHERO” served as an art manifesto to the invincible power of women. This testimony of pigment and stone echoed in multiple voices from artists with different backgrounds, each possessing a unique style and vision. At its core, “SHERO” celebrated resilience in the face of personal and global tragedies, the ability to find joy in any circumstances, the strength to achieve what seemed impossible, and the power to create new life from nothing.
Amidst Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, many Ukrainian artists were compelled to abandon their homes and seek safety in the unknown. However, despite the horrors and hardships of war, they never gave up, channeling their determination and passion into creating new artworks.
For Rukh Art Hub, the “SHERO” exhibition marked the next step in their ambitious 12-month-long journey, aiming to bring Ukrainian artists into the global art scene and introduce American audiences to Ukrainian contemporary art.
The “SHERO” exhibition was organized with the invaluable support of Razom for Ukraine.

Anna Bondar, Alexander Anokhin, Alina Anokhina, Anastasiia Podervianska, Artur Anokhin, Diana Ruban, Iryna Kalyuzhna, Julia Isabel, Kristina Otchich-Cherniak, Lina Chanturiia, Lucy Evans, Maria Kulikovska, Mariko Gelman, Nadine Kobylko, Maya Hayuk, Natalia Lugovskaya, Nina Murashkina, Polina Kuznetsova, Polina Verbitska, Svitlana Volokitina, Tata Kolesnik, Tetiana Albitska Kostomarova, Tetiana Malinovska, Valeria Buchuk, Yevhehii Shapovalov, Yuliia Poliakova, Yurii Kokh
