19 students from ArtEZ Zwolle are working with the MyZwolle Foundation as part of the Winterlab to draw attention to and raise money for aid for victims of the war in Ukraine. The students have created four artworks, which will be exhibited in the city museum ANNO from 24 February.
On 24 February, it will be exactly one year since the war broke out in Ukraine. To commemorate the victims, and to raise money for relief efforts, students from Art & Design Zwolle are organizing a special exhibition entitled 'Co-llab' together with the MyZwolle Foundation. MyZwolle is an organization dedicated to helping Ukraine.
About the collaboration
This special collaboration came about when MyZwolle used classrooms in ArtEZ's Sophia building to offer Dutch lessons to Ukrainian refugees. ArtEZ students thus came into contact with MyZwolle teachers and refugees, and they decided to join forces and network in order to contribute through art to the still ongoing war in Ukraine. In the exhibition Co-llab, they exhibit the result of this collaboration, offering visitors a moment to reflect and look ahead.
4 monuments
Monuments in Ukraine are increasingly compromised by the war. Many have now come down or disappeared from the streetscape. The remaining monuments are currently being moved to safety with bags of sand. This theme forms the context of Co-llab. Below is an overview of the four elements exhibited.
