Discover Ukraine: Bits Destroyed

26-29 August, 8.30pm, 9pm, 9.30pm, & 10pm, 15 minute duration, free, Lower Ground Square

Ukraine’s rich cultural heritage is currently under devastating attack: in response, Kyiv
based photographer Yevgen Nikiforov and a Ukrainian creative team with support from the Ukrainian Institute, have designed this spectacular audio-visual artwork, animating images of 56 monumental mosaics onto the Old Royal Naval College.

Many mosaics in towns and villages across Ukraine have been destroyed since the
Russian invasion and so this poignant event is an important way of ensuring that Ukraine’s cultural legacy is remembered.
