World Press Photo Exhibition 2023 opens in Dnipro

World Press Photo Exhibition 2023 opens at Artsvit Gallery and Dnipro Center for Contemporary Culture on February 2nd, 2024.

Presenting the results of the foundation’s annual photo contest, the World Press Photo Exhibition showcases the best photojournalism and documentary photography of 2022. The event in Ukraine is supported by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Ukraine. The exhibition partner — Odesa Photo Days Festival.

Dnipro is the third city on the national exhibition tour. Over 2000 viewers visited the exhibition in Kyiv and Kharkiv from November 2023.

The global winner of the World Press Photo 2023 contest was Ukrainian photographer Evgeniy Maloletka with his photo "Mariupol Maternity Hospital Airstrike", which he took in the besieged city in March 2022. This year's European jury was headed by Kateryna Radchenko, curator and founder of the international festival of contemporary photography Odesa Photo Days.

In total, the exhibition features images of all 24 regional winners from 23 countries. The 2023 World Press Photo Contest winning works represent both major news events and important moments overlooked by the mainstream media in 2022: from the devastating documentation of the war in Ukraine and historic protests in Iran, to the realities in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, and the many faces of the climate crisis in Morocco, Australia, Peru, and Kazakhstan.

The exhibition will be on view from February 2nd until February 24th, 2024. Artsvit Gallery works from Tuesday to Saturday, 12:00-19:00.

WHEN: February 2, 2024, at 18:30

WHERE: Artsvit gallery, Dnipro, Krutohirnyi Uzviz (Descent), 21A. Entrance through sliding doors from Uspenska Square

During the tour, the artist will guide visitors through the exhibition and talk about the ideas behind it, as well as his collaboration with Ukrainian artists, which has become an important part of this project.

Soon, the Artsvit Gallery will launch a website about its collection

We often talk about the Artsvit Gallery collection, and sometimes you can see its works at exhibitions in different cities of Ukraine and even abroad. However, most of the time it remains closed — not only to the general public, but also to the professional community.

That is why we want to change this: we are currently working on an online platform that will make our art collection visible and more accessible — for curators, artists, researchers, and viewers. The future website will make it easier to find works, research them, and discover new opportunities for creative collaboration.
