Art in Ukraine during the war

In this difficult time, people need art and culture. It can't stop the war, but music, paintings, literature, and films can help spread information and support citizens.

Right now it is noticeable how people have united during the war. A huge number of museums and works of art have been destroyed, but all citizens are trying not to grieve or despair. Therefore, it is very important to restore culture during the war so that the world does not forget about these events and to show Ukraine's national identity.

Art has a great influence on our surroundings, as many people find salvation in art in times of trouble. It is a huge psychological support. Some people use it, and some create it because for many people it is a way to express their feelings, calm down and show the war in more detail from different perspectives.

For example, here is one of the quotes by Andrea Grill: "Art and culture are powerless in the face of war. No one will write a book or do research when bullets are whizzing by. But they give you the strength to endure the unbearable, not just to accept it, but to think about it and to live through it."

In Ukraine and abroad, artists try to raise the morale of the military, encourage citizens and tell the truth about the war in Ukraine through their work, as information is conveyed to people through culture.

Also, creativity is a great material support, because in this way artists help to raise funds for the army. For example, Ukrainian music bands and singers hold charity concerts to support the Armed Forces and Ukrainians who suffered during the war. Artists continue to create works and sell them, sending money to help our army. For example, digital art is also becoming more and more popular today, and you can often see paintings about the war in Ukraine on the Internet, which also helps people raise money.

Today, the works of our singers, directors, painters, and other artists have become powerful tools in the fight against Russian propaganda.
