Starting 15 September in the European Parliament in Brussels, the photo exhibition #TheLightsStayOn will present powerful stories of people from Ukraine who continue to move forward despite war.
The visual concept of the exhibition draws inspiration from René Magritte’s “L’état de veille” (“The Waking State”), where glowing windows appear in the sky among drifting clouds – a surreal play between presence and absence. In this exhibition, the image gains new meaning: for Ukrainians, these glowing frames portray bombed buildings, where the walls are gone and only the open sky can be seen through shattered windows. Through it all, the windows continue to shine.
The lights stay on.
Organized by the European Union together with UNDP, and in collaboration with the Ukrainians Media and Autera creative agency, the exhibition demonstrates the depth of the partnership on Ukraine’s path to recovery and EU integration.
