PRESS RELEASE : Minister of State visits Ukraine Art Exhibition in Belfast [February 2024]

The press release issued by the Northern Ireland Office on 23 February 2024.

Minister of State, Steve Baker, visited the ART for LIFE exhibition at Ulster University to mark the second anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine.

The exhibition showcases works by talented artists living in Ukraine and Northern Ireland, who have dedicated their art to supporting Ukraine.

Mr Baker said: ”It was a deeply moving experience to view such amazing artwork by artists whose response to Russia’s illegal invasion was to create art and who have generously donated their pieces to help provide humanitarian aid to those affected by the war.

“The UK Government continues to stand with Ukraine, its democratically-elected government and its brave people at this awful time.”

The exhibition runs until February 26 at the Belfast campus.
