Photos from war in Ukraine on display in new exhibition

By Martin Booth  Tuesday Feb 21, 2023

A photography exhibition featuring the work of some of the UK and Ukraine’s leading photojournalists has opened in Bristol.

‘Capturing Conflict’ is on display at Bristol Cathedral to mark the first anniversary of the start of the war in Ukraine and is being held in support of RE:ACT Disaster Response.

The exhibition is being held in the Newton Chapel inside the cathedral, with photographs rotating on a digital screen.

RE:ACT is an non-governmental organisation (NGO) that responds to emergencies in the UK and internationally, delivering rapid humanitarian action to the hardest to reach and most vulnerable.

Dean of Bristol, Mandy Ford, said: “We are honoured to highlight the vital work RE:ACT are doing in Ukraine. As the anniversary of the war in Ukraine arrives, we pray for the victims, for the wounded and the captive, the grieving and the homeless, for those fleeing from war and those who remain.”
